A5 Video Series – On going archive on the history of graphic design

A5+ Trailer

A5+/02: Lars Müller

Even if all these videos are in German without any English subtitles, I thought this great initiative worth to be mentioned.

The A5 series is intended as a growing archive on the history of graphic design. Each volume introduces outstanding personalities and important themes from the history of international graphic design, with numerous illustrations, essays and interviews. A5 is a co-operative project between the labor visuell in the design department at the Fachhochschule Düsseldorf and Lars Müller Publishers.

Videos available so far:
A5+/01: Odermatt+Tissi
A5+/02: Lars Müller (shown above)
A5+/03: Barbara Junod
A5+/04: Norm
A5+/05: Hans Hillmann
