Illustrating Science. Erwin Poell and naturwissenschaft+technik Magazine

Last year (2024), I came across a selection of his design work for n+m: Naturwissenschaft und Medizin (Natural Science and Medicine) magazine. Erwin Poell's work for n+m magazine, which was published between 1964 and 1971 by C.F. Boehringer & Söhne, is a fantastic example of engaging and accessible data visualisation.

Otto Neurath’s Pioneering Book. Modern Man in the Making

The book "Modern Man In The Making" (1939), is a fantastic example of Neurath's work. The book uses Isotype's principles with text to illustrate complex societal issues like globalisation and war's impact on economies, prioritising visual recognition through symbols to aid in memorability—a philosophy that remains paramount in design today.
