New Posters on Blanka’s Flickr
The stuff that gets added to Blank’s Flickr page always leaves me amazed. I have no idea where they get all this vintage work from. They’ve recently updated their page with a ton of posters by Hans Neuburg, Herbert W. Kapitzki, Armin Hofmann and Josef Müller-Brockmann, many of them I’ve never seen before.
Wim Crouwel Archive
This is one of those online gems that only come around once a year.
This Dutch site contains an archive of over 500 original designs by Wim Crouwel, most of which I’ve never seen before and that I think are some of his best. Pure brilliance. What’s even better is that there’s a sharp, hi-res version of each. Picking one out of the bunch to display here was a really tough decision.
You will get lost in this for hours, I guarantee it. If the link doesn’t work just search for Wim Crouwel.
If anyone can give me more info on the site and the collection, I’d be very grateful.
Quadradão
Here’s some stellar work by Brazil studio Quadradão. The work definitely has a nice authentic feel that reminds of some of the great classic pieces from the 50s and 60s.
Construction Technologies Australia
Here’s some brilliant design work by War Design for adhesive manufacturer Construction Technologies Australia (CTA). I personally love the contrast of the modern design with a very technical product. The beautiful design not only makes the products visual interesting, but it creates a functional labeling system that’s super easy to comprehend.
New Work from Almost Modern
The Netherlands based agency Almost Modern has updated their site with some juicy new work. Pictured here is an invitation to the ‘Popular Populism’ debate set in Folio.
