Pictured above: A white poster with a red square over a smaller blue square; the red square says "the key to a better future" next to an image of a key with three ring holes on the hilt; one shows an illustrated home titled "better housing", one is a disabled man in a wheelchair titled "medical care", and another of a man's hand holding a tool box titled "more jobs". In the blue box below it says "register and vote!".

Poster Collection 14: Zürich-Milano⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ Entrepreneurial initiative, social openness, and cultural diversity meant that Milan before—and even more so after—the Second World War was predestined to develop an effervescent cultural climate that was shaped in a crucial way by graphic designers from Switzerland.⁣ ⁣ Supplied with a type of education that was not available in Italy at the time, Swiss graphic artists, many graduates of the famous Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich, brought an optimistic and undogmatic attitude to their undertakings in Italy. This transalpine dialogue became a decisive moment for the history of design.⁣ ⁣ The publication includes such icons of the history of poster design as Max Huber and Walter Ballmer.⁣ ⁣ #PosterCollection #PosterDesign #Design (at Zürich, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GrE4pn1OV/?igshid=1fdy2mhnmuowf

Poster Collection 26: Japan - Nippon / Available at www.draw-down.com / Posters circulated in #Japan simultaneously with the country’s swift reconstruction and economic revival after the Second World War. If the first generation of poster designers was mostly guided by western #modernism, searching for a universal and functional way of communication, the following generations from the 1970s onwards increasingly drew on their own pictorial tradition and maintained marked individual approaches. This was not least a reaction to the west’s fascination with a poster culture with very different parameters and arguments. Until today, the Japanese #poster functions most notably as a highly aesthetic image #advertisement and indoor medium, presupposing the conception of the designer as an artist. The 137 posters profiled in this book reflect a broad range of influences and approaches to the form, showcasing various art and lettering styles as well as abstract compositions. An excellent short introduction to Japanese poster art, this volume is the twenty-sixth publication in the #Zurich #MuseumofDesign #PosterCollection series. #graphicdesign #posterdesign #japanesedesign #typography
