Wim Crouwel — Het Nederlands Kamerorkest
A poster or catalog cover designed by Wim Crouwel sometime during the 60s. Perfection.
Type Only
Unit Editions continues to impress me. They continue to pump-out these high-quality books with great work. The newest book Type Only looks like it’s awesome.

Type Only features the work of over 100 graphic designers from Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA.

Gerald Cinamon
Gerald Cinamon is an American designer and typographer who was the chief designer at Penguin and studied under Paul Rand and Armin Hofmann. He’s also credited with bringing the Swiss Style to the UK.
In honor of his work, SEA has produced a book of his work and two screen prints. There will also be an exhibition from Sept. 4 – Oct. 6 at the Institute of Contemporary Art.
More info on Cinamon here.
I’ve never seen Cinamon’s work until now, and it’s impressive.
Rolf Müller
Rolf Müller is a German designer who studied with Josef Müller-Brockmann, and from 1967-72 he worked with Otl Aicher on the corporate design of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. Stellar work. Definitely one of the greats.
Glory Glory
Sometimes I wish I lived in the UK, so that I can attend all these great design exhibitions. Glory Glory is one of them, an upcoming exhibition and book of large format typographic posters based on football (soccer) chants. Some of the contributors are Ben Bos, Wim Crouwel, Bibliothèque, Build, Craig Oldham, Experimental Jetset, Mash Creative, SEA, Spin, Dave Sedgwick, and many more.
The exhibition will take place tomorrow at:
Hoxton Arches
37 Cremer Street
London E2 8HD
All proceeds will go to British Blind Sport.
This great exhibition is curated by Nick Blakeman, Alex Brown and Craig Oldham, and sponsored by Gavin Martin Colournet and GF Smith.
I haven’t been able to find any of the posters that were designed for the event, but Dave Sedgwick sent in his awesome contribution, which is pictured above. His piece uses football studs to create the type and the chant is of the Argentinian team, Boca Juniors. It’s made of wood and acrylic, and the rest of the chant is etched into the wood around the edges.
Great designers, great design, for a good cause. Sounds like it’s going to be a fun time. If you’re in London, be sure not to miss this.
