Check out this stunning poster by the legendary Josef Müller-Brockmann. I’ve never seen this poster design before so it’s gotten me really excited! I’ll have to check my Brockmann books to see if it’s in there, but I don’t recall ever seeing it.

The color palette and the use of a few circles to create the shape of a record make this design stunning. But my favorite part of it all is how the typography, even though staggered, still lines up to a sound grid system. Brilliant.

You can grab this poster on eBay for $300. I’m so tempted.

Awesome new work by the talented bunch at Bunch.

They’ve designed ‘TEN’, the latest promotional stock book for Igepa paper merchant, after Milton Glaser’s essay* ‘Ten Things I Have Learned’. The limited edition of 300 presents a cross section of paper stocks available from the paper merchant.

Washington D.C. based designer Andy Babb has created Polygon, a typeface built on a strict grid of equilateral triangles. Lovely idea and execution. Designing a typeface on a triangle grid does create some interesting forms.

To go along with the typeface, Andy has designed a poster displaying Polygon in use. It’s screen printed with red and silver ink on pink 110lb paper. It’s gorgeous.

Excellent work by Berlin based studio, 123buero. I can get lost in their clean, minimal design.

Excellent work by London based agency, Odd. I specifically dig this brochure for a student fashion show in Milan.
