Swiss modernist graphic designer Hans Neuburg (1904-1983) is one of the pioneers of the International Typographic Style along with Brockmann, Crouwel, Aicher, Hofmann, Casey. He’s left a collection of stellar work that includes this stunning poster pictured here and as well as this diagonal design. This gallery contains some more of Hans’ excellent poster work.

He also authored the classic design books Moderne Werbe- und Gebrauchsgraphik (1960), Graphic Design in Swiss Industry (1965), Publicity and Graphic Design in the Chemical Industry (1967) and Conceptions of International Exhibition ( 1969).

Hans Neuburg is a graphic design legend.

Inspirational work by Marco Stout, Evelyne Kramer and Rinus van Dam of Stout/Kramer. Their work exhibits Swiss and Dutch influences which creates a fresh modernistic approach. Every piece of well designed and elegant. Stout/Kramer is definitely one of my new favorites.

Daily Book Graphics is a year-long project by Julian Montague where each day he posts, on his blog and his Flickr page, a graphic element from a book that he’s purchased. He started on February 21, 2009 and plans to post something new each day until February 21, 2010. The collection is incredible and it includes a ton of classic book graphics that are designed in the International Typographic Style. An excellent resource for any designer.

The fantastic studio OK-RM updates their site with new work from this year. They’re responsible for the Barbican identity system, one of my all time favorites.

Pictured above is some print work for Beyond These Walls, a group exhibition at the South London Gallery.

I love this identity and branding for Cross Section Studio by Melbourne based multi-disciplinary studio Hunt. The identity system is inspired by Swiss design and includes a letterhead, notepad, business cards and DVD. There’s something about simple black & white designs that I love.
