I’ve written about this studio before, and it’s a site I check in on everyone now and then. Always great work coming from Workroom.

Expo67
Expo67 was the of most successful exhibition of the World’s Fair and it was held in Montreal, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967.
The design surrounding the exhibition was extraordinary, which was developed by a number of designers. My favorite piece is this poster pictured here. I’m attracted to the super simple design and illustration, and the white space. I’ve tried to do some research on it, but I can’t seem to find out who designed it. If anyone knows, please shoot me an email.
UPDATE: The folks at Kind Company solved the mystery. The poster was designed by Ernst Roch.
You can see more pieces from the exhibition here, here and here. Oh and check out this great Alfa Romeo ad.
Rejane Dal Bello
Really great work by Rejane Dal Bello. I particularly love the posters done for the Amsterdam Sinfonietta music ensemble.
IBM Smarter Planet Posters
Here’s a great series of poster for the IBM Smarter Planet campaign, created by Ogilvy Paris. The posters make use of the excellent Lubalin Graph typeface by Herb Lubalin, and simple illustrations to form a stunning visual.
Read more on Fonts In Use about how the typeface is used in the campaign.
Avraham Cornfeld
These stunning posters were created by Israeli designer, Avraham Cornfeld. They were designed to promote weekly lectures at The Shenkar College. I absolutely love the color tones and the hypnotizing illustrations.
GestalterIn Gallery
Just when you’ve thought you’ve seen it all, you stumble across something like this Swiss site containing a MASSIVE amount of work from legendary designers like Brockmann, Ruder, Bill, Hofmann, Stankowski, Rüegg, Lohse, Huber, Tschichold and more. This is the motherload folks.
It just goes to show how prolific these designers were, especially Brockmann. I thought I’ve seen most of his work, but this site contains many designs that I’ve never seen, like the one pictured here. It’s like rediscovering him all over again. Not sure how he was able to get all the work completed. I can’t imagine ever producing this amount of work in my lifetime. Amazing.
