Expo 67 poster

Expo67 was the of most successful exhibition of the World’s Fair and it was held in Montreal, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967.

The design surrounding the exhibition was extraordinary, which was developed by a number of designers. My favorite piece is this poster pictured here. I’m attracted to the super simple design and illustration, and the white space. I’ve tried to do some research on it, but I can’t seem to find out who designed it. If anyone knows, please shoot me an email.

UPDATE: The folks at Kind Company solved the mystery. The poster was designed by Ernst Roch.

You can see more pieces from the exhibition here, here and here. Oh and check out this great Alfa Romeo ad.

I love these covers designed in 1959 by Yves Zimmermann for Typografische Monatsblätter. Set in Akzidenz Grotesk, these covers remind me of another TM cover designed by Robert Büchler. A poster was also printed of these wonderful design.

Definitely check out the full article on Display for more details on these beauties.
