Graphis # 200

Published in Zurich, Switzerland, and representing a monumental milestone in international graphic design publishing, "Graphis 200" is the bicentennial issue of the legendary international journal of graphic and applied art. Founded by Walter Herdeg, Graphis served as the premier global periodical documenting the highest achievements in advertising art, illustration, packaging design, and typography. This landmark 200th issue showcases a rich compendium of cutting-edge visual communication, international design portfolios, and critical essays from the apex of the late-20th-century design movement.

Featuring a captivating and whimsical cover illustration, the front design presents a soft, dreamlike architectural street scene rendered in soothing pastel blues and greens, depicting gabled houses with glowing windows. At the center, a young child sits reading amidst lush foliage and fantasy elements opening up to a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds. The upper corners display the iconic "graphis" branding in lowercase modernist typography alongside the bold issue number "200". Inside, the pages are printed on high-quality art paper, packed with brilliant color reproductions and multi-lingual commentary. An indispensable collector's item and historical treasure for graphic designers, illustration historians, and collectors of vintage design periodicals.
