Despite eye contact, the extremes of deep shadow and bright light obscure his face, adding to the sense of intrigue. Stankowski went on to become a major figure in graphic design, applying avant-garde composition and typographic strategies, incorporating photography into advertising, and creating corporate identities and logos for major international companies.",
