A blog about vintage modern design & illustration curated by Javier Garcia
Here’s an interesting book cover designed by Paul Rand. The interesting thing about this is that Alvin Lustig hired Rand to design this cover while the interior design and typography was done by Alvin Lustig. This brings two great designers together. Such a fun and modern cover. Enjoy!

You can never go wrong with Paul Rand. Here’s a beautiful colorful example of IBM’s packaging for Film Ribbons and Carbon Paper. Love the contrast of the handwritten font against the bold IMB type. Oddly enough, I found the carbon paper mingling through my dad’s office one day. Still wrapped. Enjoy!
Update: Typedeck did some search and dated this product to mid 60’s. Thanks Typedeck!

Here’s an awesome packaging designed by Paul Rand that I found the other day. I’ve seen some of this on his website but definitely not in hot pink. It’s very cool, it has a slip cover and the inside has graphics too (see bottom image). So clean.
It is an honor to have these photos now featured on www.paul-rand.com

Just a cool book I found designed by Paul Rand. Very nice typography.!
First twenty and last twenty pages are printed on gray colored paper, the entire book is black and white (except the cover).
