Fellow AisleOne reader Coen Zwaal was kind enough to take some pictures of the new the Graphic Design Museum in the Netherlands. The gallery includes some shots of Crouwel’s work in the museum. Coen was also lucky to meet the legend on the day he visited.

Today marks the opening of the Graphic Design Museum, the worlds first museum entirely focused on graphic design.

Damn it! I wish I lived in the Netherlands.

Almost Modern

The work by Netherlands based Almost Modern simply blows me away. I love how simple and minimal the work is but at the same time it’s just beautiful.

NAGO – Nederlands Archief Grafisch Ontwerpers

I’ve had this saved in my “links to blog” folder for a while now and I think it’s time to share this gem with everyone else. I forget how I found NAGO but it’s basically a large archive of graphic design work coming out of the Netherlands. The archive contains a lot of great work that you can get lost in for hours. It’s a visual gold mine.

If anyone has anymore info on this site, let me know.
