The third book in an ongoing series from the seminal West Coast art and culture magazine, Juxtapoz Poster Art focuses on the art of screen print posters. In the past 10 years screen printing has ballooned in popularity and a new class of artists has emerged.

Featured artists include: Jason Munn, Michael Motorcycle, Little Friends of Printmaking, Jesse LeDoux, ThinkMule, Paul Insect, Seripop, Brandy Flower, Aesthetic Apparatus, Decoder Ring, Nick Butcher, Rocky Grimes, Tyler Stout, Tim Gough and more.

Naive documents the return of classical graphic design reminiscent of the 1940s to 1960s in contemporary
graphic design.
The naive is a childlikeness, where it is no longer expected. Friedrich von
Schiller
A minimalist design vocabulary is currently being reinvented by a troop of young
graphic designers who are rediscovering the stylistic elements reminiscent of
classic graphic design such as silkscreen printing, classical typography, hand
lettering, woodcutting and folk art and integrating them into their work. Naïve
documents this extraordinary renaissance of Classic Modernism, from the 1940s
to 1960s, in contemporary graphic design.
Inspired by twentieth century American legends such as Saul Bass, the undisputed
master of film title design and iconic logos as well as modernist graphic artist
Charley Harper and textile designer Alexander Girard, these burgeoning designers
are creating new and striking imagery using palettes of earthy and pastel shades,
reduced strokes, patterns and shapes with a strong folkloristic element.
Naive illustrates this new development in graphic design, assembling a multitude
of vivid and inspiring examples ranging from illustrations, poster art, editorials,
book covers and record sleeves to stationery and textiles.

is now being influenced by various design principles from the areas of typography,
illustration, art and installation.

graphic designers, but by independent spirits who work in interdisciplinary
ways with a variety of skills. This new generation of talent is developing a visual
vocabulary that is refreshingly off-key and inventing their own original design
language.
Lemon Poppy Seed is a compilation of work by these young, international artists.
Their styles defy current trends and classifications and are all the more brilliant
for doing so. The 272-page book takes readers on a whirlwind creative journey
that proves that these newcomers are a creative force to be reckoned with.
Lemon Poppy Seed is the perfect source for those who want to see the organic
development of new artistic terrain before the mainstream attempts to erect
shopping centres upon it.
