The System 345: WWJMBD

I don’t expect most of you will get this, but that makes for a wonderful teaching opportunity. Josef Müller-Brockmann was a member of the Swiss design movement. Like Massimo Vignelli (whom I almost made this comic about until I realized he, like parts of the De Stijl movement, weren’t so into the tipped composition thing) he was into simple geometry, grid formation, and fonts like Aksidenz Grotesk and Helvetica.

Anyway, there are worse posters you could put on your wall.

    It's Modern Art, what's not to like? Belongs in a room that is light, bright and airy. (You know who you are.)

    Definitely belongs on a wall.

    You mean that poster on the wall there in the comic isn't awesome enough?

    I mean, this is just my non design degree personal opinion. Perfect poster for the comic. well… wait… it is kind of growing on me. Though I'm still not sure I want a giant question mark on my wall. awesome at ~42pt… at 600pt, giant "?" is, well… what would JMB do?

    He'd tell you you'd put it on your wall and like it.
