Chlorella is known as chlorophyceae which can live autotrophically by photosynthesis, promote the growth of plants and suppress some plant diseases. However, a few researches in inhibition mechanism of plant diseases by chlorella have been carried out. In this study cucumber leaves pre-treated with Chlorella fusca suspension were investigated whether anthracnose by Colletotrichum orbiculare is suppressed or not. Furthermore, in order to illustrate how the algae can restrain the antracnose, the infection structures of C. orbiculare were observed on the cucumber leaves pre-treated with the algae. Consequently, appressorium formation rate was apparently reduced in the cucumber leaves pre-treated with C. fusca compared to untreated control one. Also, the numbers of conidia found at the inoculation sites were significantly reduced compared to untreated one. On the other hand, on the leaves pre-treated with $Benomyl^{(R)}$ appressorium formation were decreased remarkably and numbers of conidia were also reduced similar with those pre-treated with C. fusca. Based on these results, it was revealed that occurrence of anthracnose can be suppressed by C. fusca pre-treatment and suggested that biochmical or structural hinderance by C. fusca resulting in the decline of appressorium formation on the leave surfaces may play an important role in the disease suppression.

Seymour Chwast, who has worked in various fields as in illustrator, graphic designer, and art director since 1950's, opened a new possibility in the field of visual design. Pushpin Graphics, founded by Chwast and his collegues, played a vital role in experimentation based on their creativity and courage. Amazingly enough his field covers Illustration, graphic design, poster, typography, and publication. His works, in which he sa tired people or events severely using his own lanb'Uage styit', appeals public powerfully and is remembered for a long time. He gives various forms to his creative ideas throughout many fields he deals with including caricature, giving all designers fresh and b'Teat inspiration. The fact that Chwast dose not limit himself to anyone style but uses various styles freely indicates his creative thinking process. The Creative Thinking, which is embedded in all his works, is so interesting and tactful that it may fulfill the requirement of the times, which wants to see something new and epochmaking. The aim of this study is to find creativity of Chwast's new visual language and its meaning through the analysis of unique caricatures among his works based on his philosophy, creative work process, and, particularly, creative thinking.
