An online archive of Australian graphic design: 1960–1980
New favourite blog.
Central Avenue is a revival of Victorian hand drawn signage, created for graphics celebrating Birmingham’s 1886 Exhibition of Local Manufacturers and Natural History.
What was important was to not lose the essence of the original designs through digitising. We wanted to make sure that we managed to retain some of the awkwardness and personality that the man-made letter forms had. We also created a set of word logos to keep its Victorian roots evident.

Hours of Light 2010 calendar, the latest edition of Accept & Proceed’s Light Calendars.
The artworks depict the hours of light and dark in the UK; this year (2010) they also depict the astronomical twilight, so the fade that you see is the rate at which the earth lightens up through the sunrise/set

Update: Grafikcache has posted some images from Bibliothèque.
Rams created his ten principles for good design and nearly 30 years on this still holds strong. To celebrate the opening of the exhibition ‘Less and More’ we asked creatively-led graphic design consultancy, Bibliothèque to create a poster of his ten principles.

I’ve uploaded a set of high res Porsche motorsport posters to flickr. They’re originally from Dutch site Autokopen and appear to be long gone.
The set is far from complete and omits many stunning examples that can be found in VPRacing.com’s ’60s and ’70s poster archives. They’re well worth a browse.
