Artimo poster
Artimo catalog ⁄ brochure
In 2003, Amsterdam art publisher Artimo asked us to design a catalog showcasing all their books, a publication that had to be finished in time for the Frankfurter Buchmesse.
We initially designed a rather thick and complicated booklet.

AM ('Akademische Mitteilungen') is a magazine published in Stuttgart (Germany), and for their 11th issue the editors asked four design groups (including us) to design a poster (60 x 92 cm), to be enclosed with the magazine as a four-piece poster-edition.
The theme of this particular issue of AM revolved around the idea of speed, and in the mail the editors sent us, they quoted extensively from F.T. Marinetti's 'The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism' (also known as 'The Joy of Mechanical Force'), written in 1909:
