I’ve now completely finished my 5000 word dissertation! Printed and bound too (here it is) ready to hand in monday morning! But anyway I’ll keep posting some of the designers and illustrators I’ve been researching, because I said I’d have a Mid-Century Modern themed week.
Book covers designed by Paul Rand, probably one of the most famous graphic designers of all time so I won’t bother saying more about him. What I will say is that I really like his book covers, and his illustration style was lovely, check out the stork on the first cover! These images are from Scott Lindberg on flickr, who has a whole set of Rand covers among lots of other brilliant pieces of vintage design. If you want to find out more about Paul Rand the best book about him is probably this one.
You can see all my dissertation research images, with sources, at the blog I created especially; http://midcenturymoderndesign.tumblr.com/
