For more than 50 years, Phil Stern has captured images that we now recognize as iconic and familiar. The late Norman Granz of Verve Records commissioned Phil to photograph an endless stream of Jazz greats. These sleeves show Stern’s remarkable photographs paired with sophisticated typography, or simply the Verve logo. The image of Ella and Louis is particularly arresting and still manages to look contemporary.
We found these old Vivitar manuals while doing some window shopping on eBay. They date from the 1970s and are a great example of strong, simple graphic design with consistent branding.
This is the latest in our series of mailers this time highlighting the importance of folds in print design. If you are here because you just received one in the post, welcome and thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Blossom Dearie (April 28, 1924 – February 7, 2009) was an American jazz/bepop singer and pianist, famous for her distinctive girlish voice. This is a classic sleeve combining simple type with a brilliant photograph by Charles Stewart.
This is something new we are working on at the moment, and thought at this flat (clue) stage it looked quite interesting. More to come soon.
We recently worked on this leaflet for Booktrust, promoting the importance of reading picture books with young children. The lovely illustrations are by the very talented Katie Cleminson; look out for it in libraries and early years centres near you!
Great to see some of Australia’s graphic design heritage with this Swiss style exhibition catalogue from the National Gallery of Victoria 1973.
