Subtraction: Aspects of Essential Design
By Alexander Gelman
Pages 076 - 077
 

Smap Posters by Ebina

In these posters for Smap designer Tatsuo
Ebina subtracts the obligatory large photograph of the performers and even the name of the group.

By juxtaposing close-ups of a listener’s face with
tiny faces of the band members arranged as tears, ear plugs, particles of food stuck between the teeth, he focuses on the audience’s emotional response to the music.
