Information

This book is the first comprehensive study of the packaging design. It was published on the occasion of the exhibition “Covers complete” in 1994 in the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich.
In no area of everyday culture to industrial inventiveness and economic dynamics manifest concrete than in packaging design. Only the packaged goods are the actual medium between producer and consumer. Packaging is therefore something of a mirror of the consumer society. Only continuous innovation ensures market positions. The publication “complete cases” feel these issues by using cultural historical interest. The book received the 1994 award “The Most Beautiful Swiss Books”.

IBM puts a premium on functional design, forms and colours which make it far easier for the potential customer to gain an insight. In this respect the IBM methods are exemplary. The IBM already opened studios of artistic and graphic design for its German and Italian offices and a few years ago another such studio was established in Paris. Frank René Testemale was entrusted with its organisation and was appointed its business and art director.

A selection of poster designs from Die besten Plakate des Jahres 1958 with a translated foreword by Maria Netter. Featuring the work of Müller-Brockmann, Celestino Piatti, Donald Brun and Armin Hofmann.
I have always loved the design work created for Olivetti. The colourful midcentury designs by Italian designer Giovanni Pintori, the minimal typographic poster by Swiss designer Walter Ballmer and my personal favourite the 1959 poster for Olivetti designed by Herbert Bayer. I recently found out Triest Verlag released a new book, Visual identity and branding at Olivetti which contains further work by Xanti Schawinsky, Renato Zveteremich, Ettore Sottsass, Hans von Klier, Egidio Bonfante and Walter Ballmer.
I came across two sample books containing printed examples of the work executed by the students in the Composing and Machine Departments of the Polytechnic School of Printing, between 1907 and 1910. I couldn't resist adding these to the archive.
