The @bravoarchiv team asked themselves how they could make a small contribution to brighten up these rather dark times. Therefore they made their BRAVO issues available for free ✨. And to make sure that every generation gets something out of it, there is one issue from each year. From 1956 to 1994 you can download the first issue free of charge. Furthermore there is a BRAVO star cut 🕺. So once again dig out the scissors ✂️ and glue sticks and start tinkering!

Not only in times of a crises 🦠 are our lives are dominated by an ever growing consumption of 📰 news media, both fake and real and everything in ➰ between. Roughly 25 years ago, German filmmaker 🎥 Harun Farocki sat down with Czech-born philosopher, writer and journalist Vilém Flusser (👓 & 🕶) to discuss the front page of Germany’s leading tabloid newspaper “Bild”. The resulting 13 minutes film documenbts a fascinating conversation about the power of media, the relationship between image and text and therefore about graphic design in general.

Ok, so we all spend the majority of our ⏱ inside apartments or — if you’re lucky — houses, surrounded by things. This might as well be the best moment to dive into the book *Arranging Things — A Rethoric of Object Placement*, simply and beautifully written by Leonard Koren alongside equally charming paintings by Nathalie du Pasquier. *Arranging Things* considers the placement of objects in three-dimensional composition as a form of rhetoric: persuasive communication. Koren is the publisher of the now infamous magazine *W💧E💧T — The Magazine of Gourmet 🛀 Bathing* as well as the author of several books. Nathalie du Pasquier is a designer, sculptor and painter as well as one of the founding members of the Memphis movement. Should you not be familiar with her work, then A) shame on you and B) now is the time to catch up!

“I would surprise myself with not knowing whether I was holding an 🍊 or a 🍋, a 🍅 or an 🍎. Usually, I could sort them out by sniffing or squeezing.”

Why not skip ◎ Tatort ◉ tonight and watch “Umbruch” by Hans-Ulrich Schlumpf instead? The year is 1985, and Akeret AG in Bassersdorf, a printer and publisher of a small local 📰, exchanges its Lintotype department with cutting-edge photo-typesetting machinery, much to the chagrin of its employees. Shortly after, Ruppert Murdoch fires more than 5000 printers and typesetters in London 🇬🇧 because they were on strike ✊ against the introduction of the new typesetting and printing technology. “Umbruch” is a unique document, and with 🎥 by Pio Corradi and 🎵 by @brunospoerri, what’s more to ask?

Herb Lubalin @herblubalin (1918–1981) was one of the most prolific 🇺🇸 American designers from the 20th century and many of his typefaces and logos are still widely in use today. After his death, he donated his vast collection of works of post-war graphic design to the Cooper Union in NY who transformed it into a generous and productive archive, the @lubalincenter. At this center you'll find, amongst many other things, huge file cabinets, and they let you open the Sandberg drawer, and then next the Vignelli drawer, etc. Of course we can't go to NY right now, but we can browse their Flickr (yes!) albums of type specimens and other gems.
