Corporate Diversity : Swiss Graphic Design and Advertising by Geigy 1940 - 1970 Museum für Gestaltung Zürich; Janser, Andres; Junod, Barbara (Eds.) 2009, 208 p. 385 illus., 360 in color., Hardcover ISBN: 978-3-03778-160-9 Lars Müller Publishers
There's something very beguiling about medical illustration reduced down to simple geometric shapes. Only in the 50's could an advert for fabric whitener look like a minimalist techno record cover. This is a great book, full of beautiful work.
Can anybody help me? I saw an amazing poster/ad in a design book, and then lost the piece of paper on which I wrote down all the information about it. Is there a forum or a site where I can ask people if they have seen it? (It was a German ad (or maybe poster) from the 1980s I would guess. A hand with a paintbrush stroking down, with yellow paint, and copy to the right of the paint, in German.)
I have recently done a work on the Geigy's Graphic Designs Genelaogy (regarging its candidacy to the british design awards), this is, the influences throughout graphic design history that have had an effect on this designs, or the styles on which this designs have based on throughout history to end up to be what they were those days in between 1940–1970. But I have found no information of the book itself's design, not the content of it but the way it has been writen and the image composition, etc. My problem is that I am supposed to do the same I did with the content (write a genealogy of the designs) but with the book format. No idea of how to start. I would appreciate if you could help me somehow.
I have been meaning to read this and just never got a chance. Its an issue that Im very interested in, I just started reading and Im glad I did. Youre a wonderful blogger, 1 of the most effective that Ive seen. This weblog undoubtedly has some facts on topic that I just wasnt aware of. Thanks for bringing this stuff to light.

Miss Jaypeg,
In answer to your metroplis question, this is the last book I bought from there - very nice too.
What does RSS do (anyone feel free to answer!)
Great. I am sure, I will tweet this to my twitter account. This will help a lot of users.l
