Time Travel Tuesday » Olle Eksell

ollo

Olle Eksell was a Swedish graph­ic design­er and illus­tra­tor, known for his sim­ple designs and bold illustrations.

He worked with logos, posters, illus­tra­tion, book cov­ers, pack­ag­ing over the course of his career. In addi­tion, Olle Eksell also col­lab­o­rat­ed with the great Amer­i­can design­er, Paul Rand, also a favorite of mine.

Olle’s style, as I’ve men­tioned on the blog before, shifts depend­ing on the type of client he had, or visu­al prob­lem  he needs to solve. All of them have an evi­dence of his hand, though, with an illus­tra­tive solution.
