Music Posters that Explore Swiss Modernism & Punk Rock

Graphic designer Mike Joyce, owner of Stereotype Design, is a man after my own heart. His brilliant way of combining two things he loves – punk rock and Swiss modernism – result in an ongoing project called swissted. The series consists of vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers that Joyce has redesigned into international typographic posters. Each one is a show that actually happened and for me, it’s like a trip down memory lane and I love it.
