AisleOne. A visual journal on design, photography, film, music and culture.
As promised here are the high quality images of the Press/1 brochure sent over by Six art director Iain Follett. Thanks dude!
I actually received a copy of this brochure in the mail this weekend and it’s even better in person. The entire booklet has a nice texture to it.
Check out these awesome images of a 1975 IBM slide presentation. I absolutely love the typography, even those cheesy gradients, and the great infographics.
Check out this excellent write up on Typophile on how to setup a flexible baseline grid in Adobe InDesign. The author has set up the grid so that every baseline is 12pts apart. This is a good setting that gives you a few leading options to choose from, but someone commented below the article that they’ve setup a 3pt system, which in my opinion works very nicely. Having a baseline every 3 pts gives you great flexibility with leading allowing you to create typography that is more dynamic.
Have a read and also join in on the discussion. I’ve commented under the name YOTS.
The postings on this blog are very sporadic, but the content is damn good.
Till Wiedeck is a third year graphic design student and freelance graphic designer from Muenster. His work has been posted recently on a few design blogs and there’s a reason why. It’s really fucking good.
I’ve been searching for months and months now for a single copy of Die Neue Gesellschaft, a political magazine that was art directed by Helmut Schmid, but they seem to be extremely rare. I was able to get in touch with some people who curate Schmid’s work and they sent over some original scans of the covers which are just gorgeous. I’m trying to get them to send over more but they haven’t replied to me in a while. In the meantime drool over these. This design was first used in 1974 with issue #7 and remained in use until 1981.
Honestly, I would pay good money for a complete set of these. I’m so obsessed with them.
