Swissted

Vintage Rock Posters Remixed and Reimagined



In the same format as Gig Posters (Quirk, 2009, 33K net) and Gig Posters Volume 2 (Quirk, 2011, 11K net) comes a book of vintage rock posters with a Swiss modernist twist.

“Fine art for font nerds.”—New York Magazine 

“One of the most engaging homages I have ever seen.”—Steven Heller

Swissted takes rock concert posters of the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s and remixes and reimagines them through a Swiss modernist lens. The result is some of the coolest images you’ve ever seen! The book features 200 posters, all microperforated and ready to frame. Or keep them bound in one collection as an art book. The foreword is written by legendary designer Steven Heller.
 
Posters are from legendary indie, alternative, and punk bands such as Jane’s Addiction, Blondie, the Beastie Boys, the Clash, the Pixies, Green Day, the Ramones, Devo, the Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Public Image Ltd., Sonic Youth, the Cure, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hüsker Dü, Danzig, the Replacements, Fugazi, the Lemonheads, Pearl Jam, Pavement, Superchunk, They Might Be Giants, Guided by Voices, Sugar, Sleater Kinney, Violent Femmes, Iggy Pop, Fishbone, Nirvana, and many, many more!

Praise for Swissted

"We are enthralled with this awesome new project from designer Mike Joyce" --Art Directors Club

"Graphic designer Mike Joyce makes vintage punk-rock-show flyers into fine art for font nerds." --New York Magazine's Vulture

"You cannot help but love the obsession of designer Mike Joyce. Every chance he gets, he designs a new punk band poster in the Swiss style. Could two aesthetics be so at odds? Apparently not. His website Swissted is one of the most engaging homages I have ever seen." - Steven Heller

"Seriously, Mike, how do we buy these?" --Flavorpill
