Graphic designer Shigeo Fukuda, known for his distinct works based on optical illusions, died of subarachnoid bleeding Sunday, his family said Thursday. He was 76.

Fukuda, one of Japan's leading graphic designers after World War II, graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts in 1956 and created the official poster for the World Exposition held in 1970 in Osaka.

In 1975, Fukuda won the grand prize at an international poster competition in Poland with a work named "Victory," in which he depicted a bullet flying into a cannon barrel.

We're going to miss him so much...
