The
Typographische Monatsblätter Archive website is a collection of magazine covers from a German design magazine.
There is some stellar design to be seen here; lots of wonderful Helvetica and great composition and layout.
Between its
Cover Index and
Older Issues pages, this archive holds magazine covers from 1932-1990.
The amazing thing is that most if not all of these covers were created without modern computers. The skill and patience of designers of yesteryear amazes me!
And I love how many of these designs still look good today. To me, that's one of the keys to great design. It's not going to go out of style in several decades.
If you'd like, take a look at the
whole archive. There are a few covers in the 1970's that I wouldn't endorse, but besides that, most of them are very innocent and type-based.
