1929
A 1929 journal cover by Aleksandr Rodchenko that uses photomontage, bold typography, and a red-black palette to celebrate Soviet industrial production—specifically the automobile.
You immediately notice the repeated diagonal thrust of steering wheels and columns against a graphic red grid, made monumental by an oversized blocky Cyrillic headline that turns machinery into a heroic visual rhythm.
A key example of Soviet Constructivist design, it helped codify photomontage and dynamic typography as tools that fused avant-garde art with mass political messaging and modern industrial identity.
