"Using the name of the magazine, the cover series illustrate the four dimensions: dot (dimensionless), line, plane, space and movement, as well as variations like horizontal-vertical or diagonal."
In this typographic reflections issue 2, Helmut Schmid was focusing on the cover of Grafik Revy that he designed. I's nice to see all the covers in one booklet. The empty page next to the cover images make the design looks more elegant. I could easily focus on each cover. The composition on the cover is not the result of experiment in phototypesetting but Schmid used metal type. Each type precisely placed to get the wonderful results.
