This is a collection of various printed materials that range from graphic design annuals to type specimen booklets and travel posters. The materials showcase the best and most influential designs of their respective eras, including the forgotten art of punchcutting and the development of the Apple human interface guidelines. The collection also includes a comprehensive book of trademarks and symbols from around the world and a reference book for IBM employees on ergonomics. Surprising highlights include the unique font balls used in the IBM Selectric Composer electric typewriter and the midcentury modern image of a vintage American Airlines travel poster for Palm Springs, California.
