These 1965 covers were designed Hans-Rudolf Lutz, using the Univers typeface. They fascinate me because they remind me of the printed dots images that have pictures inside them if you train your eyes correctly. If you do the eye trick with these covers, all of the type become 3D. Pretty cool! Lutz, born in 1939, was a Swiss designer who was very interested in how design pertained to social interaction. He wrote and designed 9 books about visual communication. He most enjoyed educating.

These 1968 issues were designed by Hans Ferdinand Egli from Oberwil, Switzerland. I could not find any articles about Egli in English, so unfortunately, I can't find out anything about him. These covers are made using type components from the typeface Ruder Grotesk, kerosene, and a rotative press. These images are fascinating because of three dimensional elements, depth, and simple yet complex forms.

This 1962 issue was designed by André Gürtler and Bruno Pfäffli. In this design, I love the simplicity and the brilliant use of negative space used to convey the number 12. All 12 of the 1962 issues use similar techniques to display the issue number.
Gürtler, born in 1936, was a Swiss typographer and teacher, who was known as an authority in the fields of typography and design. He was an editorial collaborator for the Typographische Monatsblätter for over 20 years and also designed numerous typefaces.
Pfäffli was a Swiss typographer and designer, born in 1935, who worked for Adrian Frutiger and also did a large amount of freelance work for many international museums and institutions.

This 1960 issue was designed by Siegfried Odermatt, using a photograph by W. S. Eberle. This cover catches my eye because of the elements in the photograph, which seem to create typographic elements like the letter 'I'. Siegfried Odermatt was born in Zürich in 1926 and labeled himself a self-taught designer. He worked independently doing freelance work and won numerous awards during his career as a designer.

This 1971 cover was designed by Helmut Aebischer, a Swiss designerd born in 1951. He works as a typographer and a professor in the department of Visual Communication, Design, and Art at the Universität Kassel.
