spotted around town: a poster for the 2015 dutch design week event, the design has (most probably unintentionally) to my mind, a very mid-90’s retro design feel to it… it looks like the kind of work that being made by such groups as ’emigrĂ©’ and ‘8vo’ way back then (no idea who made it)

update: jeroen van erp just contacted me to say the poster and accompanying website were created by fabrique

lance

wyman_unit

the release of the impressive unit editions monograph about often, under-rated (or at least under-recognised) graphic designer lance wyman, nicely corrects the situation (thanks guys, my copy arrived this week)

definitely worth the cash this volume, check out a short interview and some other related articles on their website here plus listen to adrian shaughnessy talk about the man and his work in this monocle audio interview
