Kieler Woche
Kieler Woche (Kiel Week) is an annual sailing and cultural event in Kiel, Germany that started in 1948. To promote the event, the organizers hold a competition to design the official poster. Starting in 1959, only five designers are invited each year to submit a design. Past winners and contributors include Wim Crouwel, Josef Müller-Brockmann, Ben Bos, Celestino Piatti and Anton Stankowski. The poster pictured here was designed by the great Swiss designer, Jean Widmer. I personally can’t find Brockmann’s design, so if anyone has any info, please contact me.
The official site for the event has an archive of all of the winning designs dating back to 1948. There’s also some more info on the event in the AIGA Archives, as well as a book on the subject published by Lars Müller Publishers.
Burton Kramer
Burton Kramer is a graphic designer living in Toronto that played an important role in bringing the International Typographic Style to Canadian design during the 60s and 70s. He’s most famous for the excellent logo that he designed for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1974, which is pictured here. You can see some more examples of the logo use as well as a video of the logo sequence seen on TV. The Center for Contemporary Canadian Art has an excellent online archive of Kramer’s work.
JCPenney Poster 1979
I first saw this poster a few days ago, and I’ve been in awe of it ever since. I always dig classic sequence designs. You don’t much of that today. It was designed in 1979 by George Tscherny. More info on this poster and Tscherny’s influence on the JC Penney brand over at Container List.
