Curtis Stauffer.

Minimalism.

I might as well follow up Natas with an ad for the company he got his skateboarding career started on. Santa Monica Airlines always had top notch graphic design in their advertisements. This one pairs a great photo with a plain background to stand out from the other pages in the magazine. The story element is a nice touch, too. I have no idea who Curtis was, but this image has stuck with me over the years.
