Created for the Art Directors & Artists Club of Sacramento (ADAC), the poster exemplifies Magleby's signature style, blending bold geometric shapes with expressive brushstrokes. The composition features a striking arrangement of elements against a deep blue background: a vivid red brushstroke arc, a gridded yellow rectangle, pink triangles, and a winding white line, all contributing to a playful yet sophisticated visual experience. Magleby, known for his innovative use of colour and form, masterfully balances abstraction and representation in this piece. The poster's title is cleverly reflected in the diverse artistic 'strokes' depicted, celebrating the variety of styles within the art community.

McRay Magleby

McRay Magleby, though perhaps not a household name, is a giant in the world of graphic design, particularly renowned for his iconic posters. Born in 1945, this American artist's work is characterised by its wit, simplicity, and deceptively profound commentary on social and political issues. Magleby didn't just create images; he crafted visual arguments, often using humour to disarm and engage his audience. His style is instantly recognisable: bold colours, clean lines, and a masterful use of negative space combine to deliver messages that are both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating. Magleby's most famous works include his series of posters for the University of Utah, where he taught for many years. These posters, often promoting campus events, transcended their original purpose to become works of art in their own right. He also created memorable designs for the Utah Shakespeare Festival and various environmental campaigns. His poster 'Isle of Man', advertising a study abroad program, is a particularly striking example of his minimalist style and clever use of symbolism. Beyond his commercial work, Magleby's art reflects a deep commitment to social justice and environmental awareness. He used his talent to advocate for causes he believed in, creating posters that challenged viewers to think critically about the world around them. McRay Magleby’s designs are more than just visually appealing; they are testaments to the power of art to inform, persuade, and inspire.
