Review

Josef Mujler Brockman
 Info : 
Josef Muller-Brockman was born in Rapperswil, Switzerland in 1914 and studied architecture, design and history of art at the University of Zurich and at the city’s Kunstgewerbeschule. He began his career as an apprentice to the designer and advertising consultant Walter Diggelman before, in 1936, establishing his own Zurich studio specialising in graphics, exhibition design and photography. By the 1950s he was established as the leading practitioner and theorist of Swiss Style, which sought a universal graphic expression through a grid-based design purged of extraneous illustration and subjective feeling. His “Musica viva” poster series for the Zurich Tonhalle drew on the language of Constructivism to create a visual correlative to the structural harmonies of the music. Muller-Brockman was founder from and, from 1958 to 1965, co-editor of the trilingual journal Neue Grafik (New Graphic Designer) which spread the principles of Swiss Design internationally. He was professor of graphic design at the Kunstgewerbeschule.
Evaluation : His website is very interesting and intriguing but very simple.
 As you can see his website is full of information this is how i found out so much about him. 
The only thing that i feel would make his   
website better would be too add more colour and less text since if someone seen his page they would just think i dont want to read that too much writing its boring. Thats why he should add more images less text and a little more colour.
Overall, i think his website is layed out  quite well and is eye catching.
