Description

Cover design quickly identifies the manufacturer and uses a condensed “S” to help introduce the catalog’s content. The inside spread makes product choices simple via a design of visual impact and logical organization. As art director for Sweet’s Catalog Service (1941-60) and a freelance consultant, Sutnar and his team designed numerous industrial catalogs and pioneered the way for clear and practical information design.
