Josef Müller-Brockmann #5

 

Müller-Brockmann, Josef. "Musica Viva". 1958.

I took a bit of a different route with this piece given its lack of photographic element. I did however think it should be added to this series given that it follows every other characteristic of the Swiss style. Its minimalistic easy to read style mixed with its extremely asymmetrical layout and geometric figures makes for the perfect example of Swiss style. The typography of this piece is again sans serif and on a diagonal at the bottom of the image, adding to the asymmetry. I'm not sure why but I gravitated to the piece and plan to find a way to incorporate its concept into my own work.

    You did a great job researching the primary designers from the Swiss Style/International Style. I look forward to seeing what you design for your final project.
