This brochure by the Swiss Bauhausier “Xanti” Schawinsky incorporates a remarkable photomontage within the letterforms of the word HAFEN (port or harbor). During the 1920s, the arts and crafts college in Magdeburg was a pioneering center of the new typography. Under Johannes Molzahn, Walter Dexel, and WIlhelm Deffke, graphic design was given priority, and modern equipment and teaching methods were introduced, emphasizing the use of photography and asymmetrical typography. Deffke, a prolific designer of trademarks and logos, led the design department in the college helping to promote a modern and professional training in graphic design. 

I never found out who designed these printed materials. I saw them when I was interning at the Department of Health and I loved how they were designed. Simple, yet eloquent. Eye catching, but still science-y.
