We’ve catalogued some of the best, inspiringly creative, modern graphic design projects influenced or inspired by the Swiss Style.
Tribute Posters by Michael Dolejs
‘Decided to make some tribute posters to my favourite designers and artists like Max Bill, Müller-Brockmann or Ikko Tanaka, that influenced me ever since I started learning more about design history.’
‘The goal was to design posters, that would pay tribute to them and also summarize their styles, while keeping them recognizable.’
La Plage by Dimitris Kostinis
‘This is a proposal for the band “LA PLAGE”, for their new album cover. //The cover has been designed to adhere to the feeling of the album.’
Bolonaf by empatía
The Championships by Abbas Mushtaq
‘A reconsideration of the Wimbledon Championships. Applying old International Swiss Style design objectives towards a contemporary global context, through the process of global collaboration.’
Typeface Specimen by Shangning Wang
LHC Guide Book by Matthew Blick
‘Concept for a guide to the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, this design takes strong International Typographic Style influence, creating a clean and crisp design. The cover uses an abstract take on colliding particles and the inner pages display the information legibly and with style.’
DESIGN DAYS 2014
Just My Type by Daniel Barkle
‘To set the record straight – there isn’t an overcomplicated concept behind this project. I’ve designed a set of prints displaying the characters of my favourite typefaces, focusing particularly on the weight I like to use the most when designing. As you can see,I don’t delve into using Serifs: I’m massively in favour of Grotesk and Swiss inspired typefaces.’
Red, White & Blue Poster by empatía
‘A1 sized two colour poster. A limited edition printed poster we designed to accompany a free music event in France. Our poster paid tribute to the french flag and a piano.’
David Bowie by Quim Marin
Swiss Ritual
‘Unoriginal in ideation, this on-going project was initiated to keep idle hands in motion, explore the visual realm in its most minimal form, and test one’s commitment to a weekend ritual. This project is a personal reaction to one album per week through the lens of Swiss minimalism.’
