Back in March I'd posted some pics of Issue Six and Seven and explained how they'd had quite an effect on me when I first saw them. More recently I re-discovered this, the next issue. Designed to a larger (A3) format, the sense of scale is powerful.
I think (and please, anyone who knows better do feel free to correct me) that Cartlidge Levene only designed these three editions of the Design Museum's magazine.
A nice bit of Helvetica don't you think?
hi richard i'm getting a big image not available message. Is that right?

These were always beautiful publications, as were the leaflets Cartlidge Levene created for the Design Museum around the same time. I only have Issue Seven and it's lovely.

They had an effect on me too. I have had the good luck to work with the man who designed those. The creative director at my previous job used to work at Cartlidge Levene (as well as 8VO!!!!) He is an exceptional designer. He also used to occasionally pull out his hand written post cards Hamish Muir used to send him. Legend. Hope the Helvetica movie thing went well!
