«schmid today»
«schmid today» is a research project about the designer and typographer Helmut Schmid by the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf’s Design Department. Helmut Schmid is an austrian graphic designer who studied in Switzerland at the Basel School of Design under Emil Ruder, Kurt Hauert and Robert Buchler. (The gurus of Swiss typography!).
The research team of 55 students around them collected, researched and cataloged designs by Helmut Schmid for the course of three years. The Archive documents Schmid’s complete works, including originals from the past 40 years. The results of the research are published now in an international exhibition, a book, a project documentary and in the digital realm for the first time.
The archive on the website is very rich and organized. I hope to visit the exhibition if it comes to Vienna/Munich one day :)
