I love this double-sided A2 poster, by Australia based Hofstede Design, to promote Tobias Frere-Jones’ visit to Melbourne for a conference. Simple and works both folded and opened.

2010 Calendar Wallpaper
I’ve been working on a 2010 calendar poster that I plan to have letterpressed and figured that it would also work well as a wallpaper. So I put some wallpapers together based on the poster design that features a 2010 calendar and the year written out in English, Italian, French and German. Available in pink and white at 1920×1200.
Ms Men
Stunning packaging design by Espluga+Associates for Ms Men, a skin care product for men. Makes me want to go out and buy the entire set.
Hans Gremmen
Amsterdam based designer Hans Gremmen’s work is clean, beautiful and extremely well designed. He’s has an exceptional skill for composition and typography that make his designs shine. The poster pictured here is set in the lovely Franklin Gothic.
Hans Neuburg
Swiss modernist graphic designer Hans Neuburg (1904-1983) is one of the pioneers of the International Typographic Style along with Brockmann, Crouwel, Aicher, Hofmann, Casey. He’s left a collection of stellar work that includes this stunning poster pictured here and as well as this diagonal design. This gallery contains some more of Hans’ excellent poster work.
He also authored the classic design books Moderne Werbe- und Gebrauchsgraphik (1960), Graphic Design in Swiss Industry (1965), Publicity and Graphic Design in the Chemical Industry (1967) and Conceptions of International Exhibition ( 1969).
Hans Neuburg is a graphic design legend.
Stout/Kramer
Inspirational work by Marco Stout, Evelyne Kramer and Rinus van Dam of Stout/Kramer. Their work exhibits Swiss and Dutch influences which creates a fresh modernistic approach. Every piece of well designed and elegant. Stout/Kramer is definitely one of my new favorites.
