The International Office is Back

Well, not sure they went anywhere. Their site seemed to be down for a few months and I thought they closed up shop. Glad to see they’re still rockin’ it. They have a new site up with a bunch of great new work.

Be sure to head over to September Industry for some high-res images of their work.        

Pan Am Destination Posters

These beautiful and mysterious Pan Am posters were designed in 1971 by Chermayeff & Geismar. What’s remarkable about these posters — other than the minimal design and the use of Helvetica — is the power of the photography. The simple, sometimes monocromatic, images make a clear statement about the location and inspire the viewer. You can see a few other examples here and here.

DCrit student Frederico Duarte did a little digging and discovered some interesting info about the posters. You can read the story on the Eye Magazine blog and in a feature.
