Chaz Maviyane-Davies, a Zimbabwean expat friend and Professor of Design at the Massachusetts College of Art, creates a new tear-sheet flyer each month with a different quote on it outside his office door in the college… above is this month’s offering.
I’ve frequently posted graphic work by Chaz on this blog, e.g. here…

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. Mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters — each design is set in lowercase Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk Medium (not Helvetica).
