This poster was created by pioneering designer Egbert Jacobson, a leader in typography and color theory. Along with his design work for the Container Corporation of America, Jacobson is known for founding the Aspen Design Conference. The Getty Institute describes the conference as “emulating the Bauhaus philosophy by promoting a close collaboration between modern art, design, and commerce. For more than 50 years the conference served as a forum for designers to discuss and disseminate current developments in the related fields of graphic arts, industrial design, and architecture.”
