Good Design Thursdays - Entry #104

A series of posters promoting the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Para-Olympics were released before the games got delayed until next year. Most utilize a variety of Abstract and Geometric styles, though some also employ an Anime and Manga style from Japanese comics and animated movies. One of the posters for the Para-Olympics (2nd to last image below) also includes an homage to one of the most famous pieces of Japanese art - The Great Wave (last image below), a wood block print created by the artist Hokusai, between 1829-1833.
