Mid-Century Modern Graphic Design by @theoinglis www.draw-down.com

The distinctive aesthetic of #midcenturydesign captured the post-war zeitgeist of energy and progress, and remains hugely popular today. In Mid-Century Modern #Graphic Design design writer and graphic designer Theo Inglis takes an in-depth look at the innovative graphics of the period, writing about the work of artists and designers from all over the world. From book covers, record covers, and #posters to advertising, typography, and illustration, the designs feature eye-popping color palettes, experimental type, and prints that buzz with kinetic energy.

The book features artworks from a wide selection of international designers and illustrators whose work continues to inspire and influence today, including Ray Eames, #Paul Rand, Alex Steinweiss, Joseph Low, #Alvin Lustig, #Elaine Lustig Cohen, Leo Lionni, Rudolph de Harak, Abram Games, Tom Eckersley, Ivan Chermayeff, #Josef Albers, #Corita Kent, Jim Flora, Ben Shahn, Herbert Bayer and Helen Borten.
