Michal Krasnopolski’s concept was “to create a very modernist, minimalist poster series for movie enthusiasts. The idea is based on a very simple grid: a circle and two diagonals inscribed in a square. It surprised me how many posters I could create based on this very simple approach; the possibilities are theoretically unlimited…”

27 April 2013 is Icograda’s 50th birthday, World Communication Design Day. To mark this auspicious occasion and global celebration, I’ve composed a few graphic iterations and collages. Icograda invites contributions on a Facebook page set up for international “graphic sharing” here.
The Icograda 50th Anniversary logo was designed by Omar Vulpinari and a creative team at Fabrica.

swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer Mike Joyce… combining his love of punk rock and Swiss modernism, two movements that have (almost) nothing to do with one another.
