Totally forgot about this poster until some folks on Twitter reminded me about it. Beautiful work, but no info on who designed it. Argentina was going through a dark time then, so any info on it was probably lost. A shame.

Neue Grafik/New Graphic Design/Graphisme actuel 1958–1965
To say I’m excited about this would be an understatement. Lars Müller Publishers will be releasing reprints of all 18 issues of Neue Grafik. For those of you not familiar with Neue Grafik, it was an influential journal on graphic design published from 1958–1965 by Josef Müller-Brockmann, Richard Paul Lohse, Hans Neuburg and Carlo Vivarelli. It’s essentially the bible for the International Typographic Style. You can still get your hands on original copies, but a single issue can cost you a few hundred dollars.
This reprint collection will include commentary and is set to be released in January 2014. I. Can’t. Wait.
Poster Collection 25 Josef Müller-Brockmann
Next month, Lars Müller Publishers is releasing “Poster Collection 25 Josef Müller-Brockmann”, a book that showcases a selection of posters designed by Müller-Brockmann. No photos of the spreads, but this is definitely going in my collection.

Designing News
Designer Francesco Franchi, known for his work on Il Sole 24 ORE, has written a new booked called Designing News, that explores the future of the news and media industries. His perspective is based on his work for IL, and the book includes case studies by Richard Turley, Daniele Codega, Mark Porter, Oliver Reichenstein and more.
The book will be published Gestalten, and will be available very soon from their site. Time to drop hints to my wife for X-mas presents.

A poster or catalog cover designed by Wim Crouwel sometime during the 60s. Perfection.
