So much respect goes out to the illustrators of these graphics. The graphics appear to have been from a science-fiction magazine or album art, though I’m not sure exactly. The detail of each is quite amazing, particularly the first few. More on Flickr.

Braun Brochures
July 17th, 2012
These are gorgeous brochures for Braun collected by Das Programm. So simple, yet so effective. I’m not sure who the original designer is, though it could be Wolfgang Schmittel. If you know, let us know by commenting here or at the source post on AisleOne.
Wallpaper Magazine Cover Illustration
November 21st, 2011
Andrew Townsend created this cover illustration for Wallpaper* Magazine. The vibrant colors immediately drew my attention and made me realize that I kind of miss reading physical magazines every month.
Quadradao Studio
April 13th, 2011
Quadradao is a studio out of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The top project (blue) was a promotional catalog for a cultural event. I’m particularly fond of the colors used and the treatment of the large type. The second project (brown) was a set of cards featuring the work of the studio.

Bulletin Publication from the 1972 Olympic Games
March 4th, 2011
The Bulletin was the official report of the preparations leading up to the Olympic Games. It appears they were released as far back as October 1968.

Posters of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
March 3rd, 2011
These posters for the games weren’t just created for advertising specific events, they were also used for public relations to help the sports be understood throughout the world. Each poster had to fulfill requirements of being intelligible throughout international cultures and appealing to the majority of people.
The use of photographs bled into the design helped symbolize the sport and to be easily comprehended. Remember that old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words?

Matchboxes of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
March 2nd, 2011
There were many great accessories done for the ’72 Olympics; matchboxes and lighters being of them. Although the design remained very consistent with the rest of the collateral pieces, it doesn’t become redundant or boring. The smaller presentation shows how great design should also work when scaled.

Ticket Passes of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
March 1st, 2011
Ticket passes are usually the first things we throw away when passing through the entrance gates. Luckily for us the great 1972 Olympic Games Archive collected them and we’re able to see the continuation of simplicity throughout the design collateral.
As a kid I sometimes wish I would have collected things such as ticket passes. I’m sure it would have been interesting to look back at the design—if only I would’ve been into design at that age. Also it would have helped to be born twenty years earlier.

Brochures of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
February 28th, 2011
The overly minimal and straight-to-the-point design was appropriate and entirely useful as an overheading design theme for the ’72 Olympics. These printed brochures focused more on the necessary information and excluded nonsensical riff raff—less really said much more.

A Week of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
February 28th, 2011
The 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany had some of the greatest and most memorable graphic design of the 20th century. The pieces shown here throughout the week were all designed by Otl Aicher, an outstanding German graphic designer. Besides the work done for the games he also worked on the corporate branding for Lufthansa Airlines in 1969 as well as designed the “M” logo of the Munich Airport.

Screen Printed – D.Nine & Successful Speaking
April 25th, 2009
Two new projects have been added to the constantly growing project wall. The first is for Inspirational Minds (Inspirational Minds Live Lives), originally a Wanken sub-portfolio section but now expanded to encompass more range of ideas. This new project is titled ‘Successful Speaking Inspires Minds’ and it really is just that–successful speakers inspire you.
The original, still standing idea is to bring together lessons from inspirational speakers such as David Lemley, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Mau, and Seth Godin so that we can appreciate what they’re doing. To begin the project, I’ve started screen-printing posters. The first test run was in tabloid format, which to my eye seemed small. The next test run will be in a larger format (14/20 or 13/19 depending on screens). Continue reading to see images of the SSIM transparencies and exposed screen and test run of Dnine Series 1 posters.
