SWISSTED: VINTAGE ROCK POSTERS REMIXED AND REMAGINED
Here’s another set of posters from Swissted, the new book by art director Mike Joyce, who has been creating amazingly cool CD covers, music packaging, and posters for years through his work at Stereotype Design. His side project has been Swissted, his effort to recreate classic punk rock gig posters from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, in Swiss Modernist style. Now there’s a collection of the best of these posters in book form.
You can get a copy of Swissted here, or check out Joyce’s website for more examples.
