The Entente‘ is a Brighton based design and art direction studio formed in the last quarter of 2008 by Anthony Sheret & Edd Harrington.’The Entente Cordiale’ an apt phrase of the relationship between the two – ‘The Friendly Understanding’.

The Graphic Design Archives are perhaps the most comprehensive collections of the work of American designers practicing from the 1950s – to 1980s, including Saul Bass, Lester Beall, Alexey Brodovitch, Will Burtin, Tom Carnase, Cipe Pineles, Paul Rand and Bradbury Thompson, among others.

For the second anniversary of Swiss Legacy, this month, we give you “Das Erbe der Schweiz” poster. This poster celebrates the great graphic designers that created the “International Typographic Style” also known as “Swiss Graphic Design”, and also the designers that followed those steps and are still today the last survivors of this legacy.
The designers are (not in order… I let you find): Ernst Keller, Theo Ballmer, Jan Tschichold, Herbert Matter, Max Bill, Emil Ruder, Josef Müller-Brockmann, Paul Rand, Max Huber, Otto Aicher, Armin Hofmann, Adrian Frutiger, Wim Crouwel and Karl Gerstner.

Antonio Carusone speaking:

As some of you already know, I use NetNewsWire for all my feed reading duties. It’s an amazing desktop applications that offers a ton of great features including synchronization. One of the great advantages of using NNW is that you can use custom CSS styles on your feeds.
There are a bunch of styles out there that are good but they all kind of look the same and most of them don’t focus on typography and readability. I’m trying to fill this void with what I like to call LegiStyles™, a series of custom NNW styles I’ve created that focus on design and typography. Best of all they’re free.
As of now I have 4 styles available but I plan to add more over time. If you don’t use NNW, I highly recommend it. If you do, head over to the site and download a style or two.
I’ve setup an RSS feed as a way to keep informed on news and updates. For all you Twitter users, follow LegiStyles for updates and also reply with any feedback using @legistyles.
Enjoy.
