This is a trailer for the documentary, Graphic Means – now in post-production – that explores graphic design production of the 1950s through the 1990s.
Before the computers there was paste-up, scalpel and a lot of Letraset. As a person who remembers some of these tools, this film sounds like a nostalgia trip, but also reminds me how lucky I was, being able to learn and work with a desktop computer from the early beginning.
The Sydney Opera House has a super sleek and minimal new identity. Australian agency Interbrand Australia created a complete visual language including a new logo mimicking the shape of the building’s sails and a beautiful 3D typeface called Utzon (named after SOH’s visionary architect Jørn Utzon) which was designed with Studio Laurenz Brunner and reflects the contours of the iconic building itself.

How often can you get a commissioned project by NASA?
These beautiful retro-style posters were designed by Invisible Creature, two award-winning brothers from Seattle. They were commissioned by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to design a set of “travel posters”, that would be part of a 2016 calendar, and was given as a gift to JPL and NASA staff, as well as engineers, government and university staff.
The designers were not just lucky. Their grandfather was an illustrator and graphic designer at NASA for over 30 years, so this project was obviously a special one.
Some of the limited-edition prints from the designers are sold out, but the designs are available here to download for free. I already downloaded mine!

I selected three of the 12 best book covers of 2015, as chosen by the art director of The New York Times Book Review. The rest are not bad either.
Love these prints by illustrator Jim Datz. It’s a selection of screenprints from the City Series, that includes New York, London, San Fransisco and Philadelphia.
Pentagram partner Natasha Jen and her team designed a cool typographic identity for the American Institute of Architects’ ball. It includes a playful and flexible typeface called Herita-Geo, which expands and contracts depending on its usage, inspired by the way architecture responds to available space.
Love the poster for the 56th Thessaloniki International Film Festival. It’s from Meandyou Communication Design.
Many cool patterns to be found on this website called Pattern Library, which you can also download and use freely. This is a project by Tim Holman & Claudio Guglieri, an on-going collection of patterns shared by talented designers.
If you also have a great pattern you want to share, you can send it to them and they will add it to the collection.
The Force is getting stronger and more colorful in the digital work of Antoni Tudisco from Hamburg, Germany.
I love this retro-style design for a one-off Absinthe label, by Adam Hill @ Velcrosuit, a graphic designer, illustrator and musician based in Cape Town, South Africa. The bottle was sold at a local Tattoo Expo as well as larger prints of the label art.
