    Dan Reisinger

    March 8th, 2010

     

    Dan Reisinger is an Israeli graphic designer who’s work includes posters, calendars, logos, corporate and environmental day. He’s probably most known for his work for EL AL Airlines, which includes a beautiful series of destination posters that were designed from 1968 – 72.

    I love his style and his work is probably the only example I’ve ever seen of good design that uses Hebrew letters.

    Reisinger also designed this lovely perpetual calendar for MoMA in 1987.

    Shepley Bulfinch Poster by Experimental Jetset

    March 5th, 2010

     

    I’ve been meaning to post about this for a month now and finally got around to doing it.

    Experimental Jetset recently designed this lovely poster, for architecture firm Shepley Bulfinch, announcing their 2010 fellowship. The design is based on the Roman numerals ‘MMX’ represented with geometric forms that relate back architecture. A brilliant piece.

    You can read more about the design process on Shepley Bulfinch’s blog and get a peak at an early sketch EJ did for the poster. It’s always interesting to see how a design evolves from a sketch to the final piece.

    When I first saw Tom Balchin’s work, it blew my mind. This talented designer has a certain style that just seems perfect to me on every level. Tom uses only the minimum amount of elements and colors and organizes them on a solid grid. Perfect.

    Peter of The Luxury of Protest has emailed me about this folded A3 catalogue he and Karin von Ompteda designed for the Royal College of Art. On one side the catalogue highlights seven students representing the seven different schools that comprise Research RCA department.

    On the other, the entire student body is visually represent through an information visualization that shows the distribution of all Research students across departments. Each student was recorded with regard to school, department, degree type (MPhil or PhD), project type (Project or Thesis), status (Part or Full-Time), nationality and relationships to collaborators and funding agencies (arched connection lines).

    Set in Akkurat and Didot and offset printed in single color (PMS Black) with yellow gold foil stamp on Arjo Wiggins Curious Metallics White Gold 120 gsm paper.

    Gorgeous. Wouldn’t expect anything less from Peter.

    This Studio + Twenty Ten Poster

    December 16th, 2009

     

    It’s that time of the year again and the uber-talented David Bennett has released his mouth-watering 2010 calendar poster. The poster is set in Europa Grotesk and printed one color on a 80gsm stock. I just received one in the mail and it’s stunning in person. If you ask him nice enough he might send you a copy.

    Experimental Jetset CAPC Catalog & Poster

    December 16th, 2009

     

    David over at SeptemberIndustry spotted this gem on Experimental Jetset’s Myspace page. A gorgeous set of print work EJ did for an Heimo Zobernig exhibition in Bordeaux. The work includes an A2 folded to A5 Invitation, A4 Catalog and a massive poster.

    I love how the minimal design really makes the poster stand out in a public environment. Exceptionally strong and stunning visual.

    Some lovely work here by NYC based designer Lucas Nasson.

    Pictured here is a poster for an event at Lincoln Center. Love the black & white and the grid. The image is a little tall but worth it to see the entire piece.

    Vintage Audi Poster

    December 2nd, 2009

     

    Today I received an email with the following image attached from an AisleOne reader named Rob, who’s a designer and instructor. According to Rob, the image of the poster was found by one of his students who was doing research for a report. No info can be found about it, other than it being created by the great Armin Hofmann.

    I did a little research myself and couldn’t find any info about this poster, but I did find info on the model shown. It’s an Audi 60 which was produced from 1968 to 1972, giving us a slight idea as to when the poster was created.

    What strikes me the most about this poster is the simplicity, elegance and beauty of the visual. The white background, large type and straight-on angle of the car create a stunning image. Rob explained it well in the email:

    I love the way the AUDI logo is reflected in the roof of the car and visible through the back window, which would have been a lot more difficult to achieve in the pre-Photoshop era.

    I agree.

    As for the typeface used, it’s hard to tell but it seems like it could be either Akzidenz Grotesk or Univers. Anyone?

    I wish there was more info on this poster and I wonder if there was a series of them done by Hofmann. If anyone has any info, please email me. In the meantime, we can all admire its beauty.

    Arthur Erickson & Japan Poster

    November 22nd, 2009

     

    Love this poster for an event called Arthur Erickson & Japan that focuses on modernist architect Arthur Erickson’s journey to Japan in 1961. Not sure who designed it but the big bold type, white text on black, two-column grid and the uneven horizontal strips of color make for a beautiful design.

    Hey Ho

    I wrote about France based studio Hey Ho back in the day and since then they’ve filled their portfolio with drool-inducing work. Like this piece for Éditions Galaade. So yummy and full of grid goodness.
