	Armin Hoffman - Posters from the 3 Deep Design Collection
		Born in 1920, Armin Hofmann was a pivotal?gure in mid twentieth century graphic design and his work was to exert a significant influence on design internationally.
		Hofmann began teaching his typographic principles at the Basel School of Design in 1947 where he pioneered the school's contribution to the development of the Swiss international Style.
		Hofmann's accentuation of contrasts between various design elements formed the basis of this universal language; the use of abstract forms communicate ideas directly to the eye.

	kripy* - better out than couched - exhibition:graphic art & design:Armin Hofmann
		Armin Hofmann is the driving force behind the Basel School of Design, an internationally renowned design institute based in Switzerland.
		It's unknown as to whether it's Hofmann's teaching strategies alone that produce these results, but the bottom line is is that these kids are damn good - consistently above average compared to other design schools - indicating that their tutor is someone worth gleaning knowledge from.
		You won't appreciate how influential Hofmann has been until you witness his work, and realise the intelligence and consideration behind each piece, and how many designers over the past three decades have adopted elements of his style.

		The list of subjects a good design teacher is aware of ranges from the fundamentals of drawing and painting to the study of mathematics, psychology, and philosophy and to a more than passing acquaintance with the history of art and design.
		Hofmann’s posters for museums and for the Basel State Theatre and his architecturally-related projects are evidence of his social consciousness and his preference for the kind of work that permits artistic freedom.
		Armin Hofmann stresses the higher goals of art and education not to put down the world of business but to give it real meaning.

	Rene Wanner's Poster Page / Armin Hofmann exhib. / Introduction
		When graphic designer and teacher Armin Hofmann was awarded the Art Price of the City of Basel in November 1997, not too many people in Basel knew about him or knew what he got the prize money of 20'000 swiss francs for (about 15'000 US$).
		Just to be on the safe side, the city councilors arranged for a small private exhibition of some of his posters for the guests of the award ceremony so they could form their own opinion about his work, as the official announcement put it.
		The teacher Armin Hofmann is considered one of the leading figures of the so-called Basel School, being part of the Swiss School.

		The posters of a pioneering figure in Swiss graphic design, Armin Hofmann, are on display in the Poster Gallery of Zurich's Design Museum.
		Armin Hofmann started his long period as a teacher at the Gewerbeschule in Basel in 1946 and developed - later in a lively dialogue with Wolfgang Weingart - educational skills that made a lasting impact on the international graphic design scene.
		Hofmann recognised at an early stage that technological developments demanded a radical revision of the methods used for teaching budding graphic designers.

		Armin Hofmann’s work never really fit easily into the cool, functional, design genre known as the Swiss International Style.
		Influences from his schooling can be seen in Hofmann’s use of typography and especially his use of ligatures, a small but interesting aspect that reoccurs in his poster work and also in his logotypes and signage systems.
		On another occasion, a friend of mine over-heard Hofmann in discussion with a classmate say, “Once you touch quality, you never forget it.” Maybe, the most important task in his teaching was bringing each student to this indefinable moment.
