Vintage Design: European Graphic Design 1950 - 1970


I found this great post at DEVKICK with a nice selection of posters and other artwork from the golden ages (1950-1970) of European graphic design. And, of course, great design means great color... check out the inspiring work below, and click over to the original post for more.

This is a great little retrospective. I always think about what they actually had to DO to create these effects before computers did a lot of the hard stuff for people. o.o

if we focus we realize in late 70z Graphic Desiging in Europe was at his peak i have found some very different way of expression in their work this this post the design which attracts me the more is the one made for "TELE COMMUNICATION" at that time it was considered as a very famous design and according to me one should give a deep look over European Designers work.
