A fuselage flies the flags of the world, announcing that the entire aviation world will be represented at the 17th International Air Show in Paris. The design displays the two vital elements of Colin’s genius: his delight in the “graphicness” of the simple message in a visually surprising and engaging way. In that regard, he is the editorial illustrator-laureate of this century.
