Just came across this post in Aisle One about Frederico Duarte’s column in Eye magazine about these incredible posters for Pan Am designed by Chermayeff & Geismar.



What I like most about the whole story is Duarte’s search for information and history behind the posters. He’s a student in Steven Hellers’ D-Crit program, and his mission for this project was to seek to unearth historical facts about a design, without using Google.What luxury - to have the time and space to pick up a phone, make some calls, talk to the source, and engage in the construction of a story.

It’s design journalism.
