Giovanni Pintori : exhibition catalog of design for Olivetti

Just: Wow!

Truly stunning! Wow again!

There’s something so ’50s/’60s about overprinting colored shapes. You see that and even poorly done illustration instantly looks artsy. Do any of you design geeks have any history on why/when/where/who the style/technique came into vogue?

Fantastic. Great layouts and graphics.

First time commenter, avid long time reader. I consistantly find something inspiring on your blog, you realy have a great eye for the kind of design and illustration I love.

I hope you’ll accept my nomination as one of my “Brillante Weblog Premio-2008″ blogs. Pop over to my blog and claim your richly deserved prize (don’t worry it’s not a scam…just good blog karma I hope). Sorry if chain letters aren’t your thing, just thought it a nice thing to pass along:)

Keep up the excellent work, it’s much appreciated!

look mom, no mac, no Photoshop, no Illustrator, only real brushes, gouaches, drawing pen and tons of skills!

Oh man that is the good stuff.

Can you provide any more info on that catalogue?

Like Reid Miles in the US, Pintori is one of those giants who still seems underappreciated. That stuff is up there with anything Rand or Bass did, imho.

these are soo great
Thank you

Where can I buy the catalog? I grew up with this great desigm!

Beautiful work.
