Covering the Space Program
NASA doesn’t need much help selling the idea that space is super-awesome, but these covers for manuals and press conference notes from the golden age of spaceflight sure don’t hurt. They are going up for auction later this month. I wouldn’t mind having one or two of those hanging in my house, eh?
Check out many more awesome works of vintage NASA PR art here.

created by vienna-based studio grafisches büro is a series of images that playfully interpret which dogs could be related to which typeface - a dalmation as courier, or perhaps a german shepherd as helvetica. the work observes each pet for their various characteristics inthe same capacity as comparing fonts - finding the similarities in that of nature and that of a typographer’s design.
