Here’s a great find by Paul Soulellis. A massive online gallery of Volkswagen product literature dating back to 1938. Some real gems in there. You can get lost in it for days.

The American Poster
Not only does the movie seem like it’s going to be great, but the poster is really well done in my opinion. Designed by Mojo House, the design is reminiscent of the minimal style seen during the 60s, but with a modern touch. The paper is even distressed to give it an authentic feel.
Here’s a good write up on the poster, with some nice examples of original posters from the 60s.
Toko
Sydney based studio, Toko, has been one of my favorites for a while now. They’re always pumping out fresh new work that’s inspiring. They updated their site with a new look and a plethora or work.
Limited Edition Helvetica Poster
Sorry for the lack of posts this past week, I was under the weather.
Swiss Dots, the producers of the Helvetica documentary, have create this new limited-edition screenprint for the film. The print is inspired by a 1960’s design that has been seen on D. Stempel AG brochures, type specimens and posters — which has been making an appearance on the TV show, Mad Men.
The poster is hand screenprinted on archival 300gsm paper, A2 size (16 1/2? x 23 1/2?) in a numbered edition of 100 copies, each signed by director Gary Hustwit. You can order one here for $150.
Graphical House
This poster by Glasgow studio Graphical House was created to promote Scottish artist Martin Boyce’s installment entitled “No Reflections”, at La Biennale di Venezia in 2009.
The poster is printed on 308gsm Hahnemuhle Photorag paper with Ultra Chrome K3 digital inks. It’s limited to only 20 prints, and you can grab one at Graphical House’s shop.
Also check out the complete identity they did for the project. I love the logotype and the use of Baskerville.
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.
