I added a new book to my collection this weekend titled Swiss Sports Posters that features… well… Swiss sports posters. The book is a collection of the best sports posters covering more than a century. Printed in 1983 and authored by Karl Wobmann and Max Triet, Swiss Sports Posters contains brilliant work that will get any designers juices flowing.

Design Goodies

I just posted on my Flickr page some sweet design goodies that a few generous designers sent to me.

First we have a two-sided poster designed by Josh Gomby for the Rochester Institute of Technology screening of the Helvetica documentary. Josh was kind enough to send me two copies of this.

Then there’s an invite for the Helvetica 50 exhibition designed and sent to me by Xavier Encinas of peter&wendy.

Lastly, Robin Uleman surprised me with two beautiful booklets he designed for Premsela.

You can check out more photos of each piece on my Flickr page.

Check out these gorgeous book covers designed by Klas Ernflo that were rejected by a publisher. What were they thinking? These cover designs are stunning and I would buy the book just for it! There are other covers on the site that are great as well.
