TM Research Archive

These layouts were all very interesting to me. There were a few that stuck out to me though.

Emil Ruger
Cover from 1961 issue 2
I love Univers so this came naturally to me. The way that he uses asymetry in his design is impeccable.  It is interesting how the type looks so different from the top to bottom.

Andre Gurtler
Cover from 1962 issue 4
This composition is very interesting in the abstraction. Gurtler is a Swiss typographer that worked in the same company as Ruger.

Felix Berman
Cover from 1963 issue 10
The use of white space is what makes this composition so strong. Berman worked in Isreal for a while. Also, this composition uses asymetry also.
Cover from 1964 issue 11
The image in this is interesting. It catches your eye, yet helps you see the type at the top.
Cover from 1970 issue 8/9
I love the use of color. Also, the blocks around the letters help to add an image to the flat surface. The hierarchy is great in this composition too.
Hans Ferdinand Egli
Cover from 1968 issue 6/7
The texture and placement reminds me of expressive type. Egli worked in Oberwil.
