TM Research Archive






Following on from my previous article regarding the fantastic Typographische Monatsblätter journal
there is now a dedicated resource that focuses on the periods from 1960 to 1990. The TM Research Archive is a website that was initiated by Louise Paradis and set up by ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne in order to provide a reference tool for both personal and educational purposes. It is interesting to see how cover design styles have changed over the different decades but for me the simplicity of the covers created in the early 60s and the geometric styles from the 50s really stand out. Be sure to bookmark this site as there will be a series of interviews with some of the outstanding designers that have contributed over the years.
