Illuminated Manuscripts in Graphic Design

I found a newspaper cover by Louis John Rhead that was done in the style of an illuminated manuscript. The intricate detail on the figures coupled with the solid lettering is similar to the styles of what we viewed in class from the old Medieval texts. Also, I found a few "motivational" posters that were done in the style. I'm not sure who did them, but whoever did probably doesn't drink caffeine.
