Keiichi Tanaami is a Japanese artist who was working for a long time in many experimental fields of art, video and graphic design. He studied in the University of Art named Musashino. Although his works have a very wide range but he focuses so much on graphic design. His designs seem to be influenced by art and impressionism which make uses of visual elements to evoke the meaning and make viewers pay attention. He creates his own style with vivid colors and his special elements such as food, fruit, goldfish, curves, shapes... These elements make the illustration look like traditional Japanese painting. This style can be seen through the potrait of himself. In this he has used fruits to make his face:
Below are some poster made by Keiichi:
Keiichi also design for T-shirt, shoes and statue:
As I have said above, Keiichi Tanaami is an experimental artist so he always does new things. Therefore, his work and style have opened a new trend and notion of graphic design in which all elements can be combined into the composition.
