Gorgeous poster by Canadian agencyGottschalk+Ash done in the early 70’s. It’s sad how they’ve done great work like this in the past but now they do mediocre branding. At least that’s what it seems like on their site.

Peter Seitz: Designing a Life
Along with Brockmann, Crouwel and Aicher, Seitz is one of my biggest influences. His work has influenced many and is considered to be some of the best of our time. Design Observer has a great article on Seitz by Andrew Blauvelt, who also designed a book with Ryan Nelson called Peter Seitz: Designing a Life, a book featuring his work for the Walker Art Center. You can read about the making of the book on Ryan’s site and you can purchase the book from the Walker Art Center bookshop.
Craig Oldham
Excellent work by Yorkshire chap, Craig Oldham.
The Making Of FF Meta Serif
I’m not crazy about FF Meta, or any of Erik Spiekermann’s typefaces for that matter, but I still respect the influence he’s had on the design community. Here’s a great write-up giving us some insight on the creative process for FF Meta Serif.
