    Pre-Postmodern Swiss Posters Exhibit

    January 21st, 2010

     

    Designer Morgan Smail sent me an email about an exhibit called Pre-Postmodern Swiss Posters that was held at San Jose State University from November 17-December 18, 2009. The posters are from the private collection of designer Aaron Marcus and feature some real gems. Morgan was kind enough to snap some photos of this wonderful exhibit, which I’ve uploaded to my Flickr page.

    While doing some research for the exhibit I found this blog post by Aaron Marcus that goes into the history of how he assembled this wonderful poster collection. There’s also a PDF of Aaron’s presentation at the exhibit opening.

    The students that attend San Jose State are sure fortunate! This was the same school that held the Spiele: Otl Aicher’s Olympic Graphic Design exhibit two years ago.

    League

    January 12th, 2010

     

    League is a Geneva-based design studio with an exceptional portfolio. Each piece is an exercise in simplicity. The poster shown here reminds me of this excellent poster by Robert Büchler.

    Dieter Rams

    December 7th, 2009

    Seems like there’s a ton of stuff going on around Dieter Rams and his legendary work.

    There’s the “Less and More — The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams” exhibit at the Design Museum in London.

    To coincide with the event, a book with the same name will be released by Gestalten this month which features all of Rams’ products as well as selected sketches and models. They also have a video interview with Rams on their website.

    The excellent design agency Bibliotheque has created two stunning posters dedicated to Rams’ legacy. The first, which is pictured here, is titled “Dieter Rams’ Ten Principles” and features his ten principles for good design. They were commissioned by Vitsœ to create the poster, which is currently available on their site.

    The second lovely poster they designed is titled “Dieter Rams T1000″ and features an illustration of the Braun T1000 shortwave receiver. It will be screen printed and should be available this week.

    And finally we have the retrospective book “BRAUN – Fifty Years of Design and Innovation” that celebrates 50 years of the Braun brand. The book is slated to be released in 2010 but you can pre-order it now through Amazon.

    Wheew! That was a lot! Enjoy.

    Carl B. Graf

    November 13th, 2009

     

    Carl Bernhard Graf (1926 – 1968) was a Zürich based graphic designer that not many people know about. But the work that he left behind is just as good as the well-known designers of his time.

    There isn’t much information on Graf (hence the terrible quality of the photo above) but Jonathan Turner has put together a Flickr set comprised of his work. You can also see more of Graf’s work in the classic design books “Graphic Design in Swiss Industry” and “Publicity and Graphic Design in the Chemical Industry”.

    If you have any extra cash laying around, you can pick up an original Graf poster for $350.

    Hans Gremmen

    October 19th, 2009

     

    Amsterdam based designer Hans Gremmen’s work is clean, beautiful and extremely well designed. He’s has an exceptional skill for composition and typography that make his designs shine. The poster pictured here is set in the lovely Franklin Gothic.

    OK-RM 2009

    September 28th, 2009

     

    The fantastic studio OK-RM updates their site with new work from this year. They’re responsible for the Barbican identity system, one of my all time favorites.

    Pictured above is some print work for Beyond These Walls, a group exhibition at the South London Gallery.

    Michael Kosmicki

    August 25th, 2009

     

    Michael Kosmicki is a graphic design student at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, and his work simply blows me away. I’m amazed at how refined it is, but what I love the most is Michael’s classic sense of style. A lot of his pieces feel like they’re right out of the golden age of Swiss design. Perfect in every way. If we did any print work here, I’d hire this kid in a second.

    80 Magazine

    August 6th, 2009

     

    I’m back in action folks, sorry for the short hiatus.

    While I was away I came across this new blog called 80 Magazine that features classic design and typography from the 50’s and 60’s. It instantly has become one of my favorite blogs to read by featuring work by Gerstner, Brockmann, Lohse, Crouwel and Emil Ruder, who’s poster is pictured above.

    The blog has a lot of pieces that I’ve never seen, including this collection of posters by Emil Ruder.
