ステートメント

既存のポスターはビジュアルとキャッチコピーおよび文章でその商品や目的を説明する事で成り立っていたが、これらのシリーズは通常のポスターと違いキャッチコピーなども入れず、写真のみで一目でラフォーレと分かるポスターでありながら前衛アートのような表現を目指した。見る人間が思わず立ち止まり、見つめさせる事によって多大な印象を残すポスター群を作った。この作品は東京アートディレクターズクラブ(ADC)のADC会員最高賞を受賞。海外でも大変評判になった。ポスターが文化でもあり、エンターテインメントでもあった時代の作品である。今日、かつてこのようなポスターが存在していた事を現代の若い人達にも伝えたいと思う。

Existing posters consisted of visuals, catch phrases, and text that explained the product and purpose, but unlike ordinary posters, these series did not include a catch copy, and aimed to express it like avant-garde art, even though it was a poster that could be recognized at a glance by a photograph alone. Shiratori created a group of posters that leave a great impression by making the viewer stop and stare at them. This work won the highest award for ADC members of the Tokyo Art Directors Club (ADC). It became very popular overseas. It is a work of a time when posters were both a culture and a form of entertainment. Today, he wishes to convey to the young people of today that such posters once existed.
