Today’s post is unashamedly for our brand design obsessed readers. Apologies to those who don’t suffer this affliction, but for those who do – enjoy!

Archivio Graphica Italiana is an online archive dedicated to the Italian graphic design heritage. This work of passion covers ‘the greatest classics to the more recent projects, showing the evolution of the discipline from graphic art to visual communication. The archive promotes the ‘culture of quality’ that distinguishes the Italian design tradition by giving the possibility to explore the fundamental aesthetic and cultural contribution brought by Italian graphics all over the world. Archivio Grafica Italiana is a project by Nicola-Matteo Munari.’

There are hundreds of pieces of design captured on the site. Here are some of my faves.
