Designed by Max Huber, a Swiss designer working in Italy. He and Luigi Veronese and Remo Muratore founded the Rinascita school of Advertising in Milan, Italy directly after WWII. Their work with Constructivism had a distinctive quality that took an entirely different direction than Swiss design.

2000

Poster for lecture on the design work of Franco Grignani. Designed by Leonardo Sonnoli 2000. The line of type at the top left got lost in the slide but that’s the event information.
Sonnoli uses little tiny type sizes on posters.

May Sonnoli never grow old and have to wear bifocal glasses when trying to find the time of the lecture.
