Josef
Muller-Brockmann
Born: 1914 May 9 Rapperswil, Switzerland.
Text/type: Bold, plain, unchanging, clear. The text he used
was quite spaced out within the page. He didn’t use much text at all. In some
pages he designed he had a fair bit of text but it would be very small and in
one little area.
Main Image: Images rare, or one large image taking up page. He
didn’t use many images at all, so technically there isn’t a main image. His
designed work was more built up with a few words and a couple of colours
throughout the page.
Colour: Black and white, colours non-changing, odd colour
taking up document of image. He liked things very simple. So colours weren’t
used much in his work. Black, white, blue, those colours are the most seen.
Maybe they were his favourite colours to use in his projects.
Space: Mostly filled with typography and word art.
Composition: Typography filling centre or edges, evenly
spaced out. His work was unsymmetrical so there isn’t a layout he used often.
Though he seemed to use angles in his work often.
Influences: Joseph
Müller-Brockmann was influenced by the ideas of several different design and
art movements including Constructivism, De Stijl, Suprematism and the Bauhaus.
Most significant
design element: Typography
