Books by Josef Müller-Brockmann

Josef Müller-Brockmann (1914–1996) was a Swiss graphic designer and theorist, and a leading figure in the International Typographic Style. He was born in Rapperswil and studied at the Zurich School of Arts and Crafts. His career spanned concert posters for the Zurich Tonhalle, corporate identity work for Nestlé and IBM, and decades of teaching and writing. His 1961 book The Graphic Artist and His Design Problems and the subsequent Rastersysteme were the foundational texts of Swiss rationalist design education. He co-founded the journal Neue Grafik and remained influential in design education until his death.
