The Typographische Monatsblätter was one of the most important journals to successfully disseminate the phenomenon of ‘Swiss typography’ to an international audience. Here you’ll find Emil Ruder alongside Tschichold, Jan and other giants. Dig in!

Delicious Vintage Food PSA Posters | Brain Pickings

Delicious Vintage Food PSA Posters | Brain Pickings.

What I love about this series is how powerful an idea can be when expressed in a poster format. With so much crap being cranked out that is soul-less, its good to look back at this work and regenerate your batteries.

Vaughan Oliver — The New Graphic

via thenewgraphic.com

Vaughan Oliver is one of my inspirations and this blog post caught my eye. As a big Pixies fan, I always admired Oliver’s work for 4AD records and the utterly unique approach to packaging. It certainly influenced my packaging work at the Knitting Factory. Enjoy!

What I am reading this week.

Mobile Applications & Technology

Using their SimpleGeo aquisition technology, Urban Airship is now allowing push notifications to trigger based on what, when, and where.

Good article from Mobile Marketer on how agencies should fold mobile strategy into their offering for brand clients. You can always make a good argument for new media and new technology but what it comes down to is trust and confidence from your client.

Design & Typography

The REDCAT poster series from the peeps over at CalArts. Great template and it offers the ability for infinite collaboration and change. 6 years and over 175 posters, so have a look.
