Müller-Brockmann, Josef. "Das Freundliche Handzeichen, Schützt vor
Unfällen1954Das Freundliche Handzeichen, Schützt vor
Unfällen". 1954.
For these next five pieces I focused on picking images that utilize photography as one of the main characteristics for Swiss style. Although each piece incorporates multiple elements of Swiss design, the use of photography over illustration is overarching.
The image above by Josef Müller-Brockmann is a great example of Swiss style. What caught my attention in this piece is the use of double exposure imagery. The composition and color choices for this piece are minimalistic but eye appealing. The reaching hand is in the foreground of the image while the background image still manages to pull through to the foreground. I found this composition to be interesting and successful as a part of Swiss style.
