23–39. Jan van Toorn, “Mens en Omgeving” (Man and Environment), poster, De Beyerd Visual Arts Center, Breda, the Netherlands

Seven montage poster designs were produced, each using the same triangular fragments of a TV image of actress Sophia Loren and her son. Van Toorn altered the reproduction on each poster by manipulating color plates and adding hand-coloring. The repeated images called attention to the designer’s capability in shaping mass media and the media’s power to invent celebrity images.
