March had been a busy month, so it was great to spend time away from the Studio to see this retrospective show of Wim Crouwel’s work. And it’s brilliant – especially as his vibrant original posters and programmes have not faded with age. And of course their striking typography is still contemporary and a continued inspiration for all designers.
Plus, in the evening we had the additional treat of seeing Wim and his son Mels in conversation with Rick Poynor. These events are always a rare treat. The next Studio outing: ‘Working With Wim’ a talk with Ben Bos and 8vo.
Wim Crouwel, A Graphic Odyssey runs at the Design Museum, London until 3 July 2011 – don’t miss it.
