History German Graphic Design

This is as close as I can come to uploading a precise image from Gebrauchsgraphik to show how the magazine used Futura in all of it's typography for it's internal design and layout until around 1937. It was different for the design of the covers where the whole layout and choice of type changed from issue to issue.

 

This article by Ludwig Holwein is from one of my 1933 issues of Gebrauchsgraphik. He produced very popular posters for many different German agencies and since Germany was undergoing the Great Depression (along with the rest of the world) his work promoting German tourism was especially in vogue at that time. (Anything to get money circulating in Germany.)

 

The article also had other Holwein illustrations but all in black and white, not in the full color that they were originally published in.
