MoMA: The Russian Avant-Garde Book 1910-1934


While I was looking up on El Lissitzky I came across this site - an exhibition by MoMA in 2002 - I like the bright warm red on a soft cool blue.
Check out this online exhibition and learn a bit about graphic design history.

Piet Zwart


How do I know about Piet Zwart? It started with Huffer - the logo to be specific, it reminds me of some old iconographic I saw in a design history book. Flicking through the pages and I saw it - the Huffer logo is exactly the icon that Piet Zwart created in 1924 for the NKF catalogue.

The Netherlands, 1885 - 1977
