AisleOne. A visual journal on design, photography, film, music and culture.
A lovely publication by Iaspis and Sternberg Press that examines staging, theatricality, and performative strategies in contemporary art practices.
Art direction and designed by Stefania Malmsten and Ulrika Hellberg, Voice Over’s gorgeous cover is printed in silver foil and the entire magazine is set in Chronicle Text and Chronicle Display by Hoefler & Frere-Jones.
Overall this is stunning work, the interior layouts are to die for.
Tankboys is a multidisciplinary Venice based studio founded in 2005 by Lorenzo Mason and Marco Campardo, focusing on cultural, artistic, editorial and
design project.
Every piece in their portfolio exhibits beautiful typography, strong grids, and a minimalist approach. It’s great to see the International Typographic Style still thriving. Tankboys have become one of my favorite design studios, up there with Experimental Jetset and The International Office.
I have a thing for type specimens, they get my juices flowing.
This specimen booklet of Norm’s excellent typeface LL Replica is incredibly detailed and beautifully designed. The specimen documents the entire design and development process of the typeface, as well as the problems encountered during the process. The booklet also includes a complete character map.

I’m back in action folks, sorry for the short hiatus.
While I was away I came across this new blog called 80 Magazine that features classic design and typography from the 50’s and 60’s. It instantly has become one of my favorite blogs to read by featuring work by Gerstner, Brockmann, Lohse, Crouwel and Emil Ruder, who’s poster is pictured above.
The blog has a lot of pieces that I’ve never seen, including this collection of posters by Emil Ruder.
Wow! I’m absolutely blown away by the work of German designer, Katja Gretzinger. Exceptional typography, composition and style. Her work even has a vintage tone to it. Just look at the piece above. Stunning.
This is awesome. I need to get my hands on it.
Designer Dylan Mulvaney has designed this splendid bilingual, expandable book for Blanka. It honors the man, the legend, Josef Müller-Brockmann as well as conveys the principles of Swiss Graphic Design as exemplified by the leader of the revolutionary Swiss Style. Sounds perfect to me. Too bad I don’t see it anywhere on the Blanka site.
UPDATE
I contacted Blanka and they’ve never heard of Dylan Mulvaney nor are they part of this project. Really weird that this guy would claim such a thing.
