Neil Fujita Has Died

Sad news - one of the greatest graphic designers of the 20th century has died - Neil Fujita.  Fujita made a stylish, indelible mark on the 60s and 70s with his album covers for classics like Brubeck's Take Five, and the book covers for hugely-bestselling paperbacks The Godfather and In Cold Blood.  Fujita overcame racism and internment to become a vital part of post-war American culture, and is a remarkable figure, if not a household name.
