Josef Muller-Brockmann

JMB is my favourite designer ever. I love the level of intellectualisation he gave design with grids and why space was so important, his approach to interpretating music in his work for the Zurich Tonhalle posters, how clean everything is asthetically and his use of type.
Here is an animation of some of his work (not done by me):

Drink Coke. Period.

Realised I hadnt put too much up that wasn't either bikes< scuplture or me moaning about plaster of paris so hereis some stuff I've been looking at that has had a big influence on my designs:



I've rewatched this documentary to give an understanding of the development of modernism, why san serifs were used and why some people hate them. This modernist/Swiss style has has influenced the designs because I wanted some of them really clean and the type to be legible and for it suggest a bit more than the images were offering. Whilst at the same time understanding why grids, space and certain typefaces were used.
