Artist Heat-?????

WTF?????


'Let’s take a look at 12 of the most influential graphic designers who have shaped the visual landscape of the music and art industries:
....
Mirko Ilić
The multi-talented Mirko Ilić has art-directed albums for artists like Bruce Springsteen, created animations for MTV, and illustrated New Yorker magazine covers. Some design highlights include:
“Darkness On The Edge Of Town” album design: Ilić’s black and white photo-realist design marked Bruce Springsteen’s artistic evolution from fresh-faced singer to working-class hero.
MTV Marathon packaging: Ilić created the chaotic iconic network graphics and montages that defined the visual style of 1980s music television.
His simple yet powerful Eastern European style communicates raw emotion and complexity. Having grown up in communist Yugoslavia inspires Ilić’s subtle anti-establishment bent. He brought fresh, provocative dynamism to both music and media.'
