American Graphic Design

My graphic design in 1969. An independent study bulletin for the University of Iowa.
I followed the rural mailman in my volkswagen beetle taking photographs of him delivering mail. He finally stopped and asked what I was doing and I explained that I was taking pictures to use at the university. That cleared things up as Iowans have a deep respect for their universities.
At least I didn’t have to develop and print my shots as the university handled that through their photo lab and it was just as well. I had very little spare time because my youngest daughter played in the Iowa City high school marching band. If you’ve ever lived in the mid-west you would understand. I knew every high school football field from Keokuk to What Cheer. And I never realized how many kids and musical instruments could fit into a volkswagen!

Love it!
Something like this could be re-used today and no one would realize it’s 40 years old.

I think it’s great you took the photographs yourself. These days many designers are happy just to use stockphoto’s…

I grew up in the days when a graphic designer did his or her own photography if possible. Stockphotos, we never used them too much. Or clip art either.

Believe me, I was truly a disciple of his back then and I am still today. One of the great masters of graphic design.

I try to use my own photography as often as possible as well. It’s more fun, anyway.
For the Love..

This is great Alki1. Timeless indeed. I’m curious what typeface you used for the titles.
