DSGN 142: Psychedelic Design Hero – Victor Moscoso

Victor Moscoso

Victor Moscoso is a prominent psychedelic artist who is beste known for rock music art and underground comics- such as ZAP Comix.

He has a very fun and humorous art style and I think his comics are really interesting in the way he transitions between different comic panels. Some of my favourite pieces of his are the various advertisements and posters he created, in particular this one about a poetry reading night. Looking at this poster inspired my design for the 1960’s album cover assignment and I layered the lips in blue and pink in the same manner as Victor Moscoso.

Moscoso has an interesting range of work and compared to other designers during the time his font choices and typography is much easier to read which I think helps his work stay more relevant.
