Ephemera
Steiermark brochureMost graphic designers that I know are insatiable pack rats. Why? We’re always looking for inspiration—beautiful artifacts that will stimulate our senses and excite our muse. When we’re stuck on a project and don’t know where to take it, these examples of splendor will jumpstart our imaginations and (hopefully) direct us toward the right solution. These days, designers are just as apt to search for inspiration online as to horde little design samples in their desk (and bookshelves, and basement, etc.). For those designers who are looking for a little extra inspiration, travel ephemera collector David Levine has provided an excellent resource of design samples from the 1920s and 1930s. His site includes advertising, brochures, airline timetables, ocean liner timetables, auto road maps, luggage labels, and graphic design publications, primarily in Europe but also Asia and, to a small degree, America. So head on over to his site—just be prepared to lose yourself for the better part of the morning. Moscow street map Share/Save
