Description

Shiseido’s monthly “Computer Art Series.” Each installment is a metamorphosis in the manner of Running Cola is Africa!. In January a running Great Dane becomes the mark of MG5, Shiseido’s men’s line. In February the numerals 1 to 14 each cross the page in twelve steps to become a letter, spelling “St. Valentine Day.”

Each issue credits page 3 to Katsumi Asaba and Haruki Tsuchiya. The pages were produced in the last weeks of 1969, after CTG’s dissolution.
