Vintage Citroen Brochures

Posted on February 28, 2008February 28, 2008 Posted in DesignTagged brochures, citroen, covers, graphic design, timeless7 Comments

I found this amazing archive of old Citroen brochures from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s with beautiful cover designs. The 70’s are definitely the best with the 50’s and 60’s containing some gems as well but the 80’s are mostly terrible. I love how these designs are timeless and look as if they were created today.

Experimenta is a design studio based in Wellington, New Zealand with an exceptional portfolio. They are inspired by minimalism and modernism, and have a great Critique section on their site where they analyze typefaces and design theories. Any site with a diagram of a golden section page gets my respect.

For all those that missed out on the Grids Are Good For The Soul posters, here are some wallpapers to satisfy your needs. Using the same Brockmann quote, I created two wallpapers, one set in Helvetica and the other set in Lubalin Graph. The grid is also visible which you can’t see in the thumbnails.

Head over to the Wallpapers page to download them.
