Gebrauchs-Graphik 1952
I love hunting in antiques stores and this weekend my keen senses helped me to find a wonderful publication on International Advertising Art in German and English. It features grand examples of design in advertising and I could not resist becoming the owner of it. Though it’s mostly in German many of the parts have an English translation with it making it an ideal find. Take a look below at some of the snapshots of it’s pages. Ooooh,... Read More

The effort features a silhouette of the country on the tip of a fork as if you are about to take a bite of this country. The simple symbol was created first to give a clean and memorable identity which would create easy recognition from advertising to in-store application. This identity forms the visual basis of the campaign. The identity is supported by... Read More
