1. One of several impressive “comic book city” posters done by designer Justin Van Genderen. The halftone dome in this one, though, is a particularly nice touch.

  2. A republishing of Giambattista Bodoni’s Manuale tipographico (1818). At 1,208 pages, it’s huge, heavy, and beautiful.

  3. Advertisements for the (defunct) Burroughs Corporation. Great use of strong line, color, and shape to express the ideas of complex computation and speed.

  4. Third edition of a beautiful quarterly design magazine printed in Australia. This is a great use of the grid and the printing looks stunning. If only international shipping wasn’t so expensive.

  5. Fantastically creative book published by MUJI. Each letter in the book can be removed and folded into an animal starting with that letter.
