Punk rock back to basics

I am in love with this project by Mike Joyce. Inspired by his love of punk rock and Swiss Modernism, he’s gone and mixed them up. The result? Swissted, these re-imaginations of  punk rock  and indie rock shows that actually happened in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. According to Wikipedia “the Swiss Style, is a graphic design style developed in Switzerland in the 1950s that emphasizes cleanliness, readability and objectivity”. Quite a departure from the rough diy style of the original flyers. I find them unsettlingly beautiful. And I would obviously give my right arm to go to any of these. You can see them all here.

    Very cool designs and it seems that with a modern internet era, these “re-imaginings” are more in demand. I love the swiss era and that fugazi poster is my favorite x

      yeah, minimalist design seems to be a big thing at the moment. There are SO MANY that I love. I want them all.
