Graphic Design: Tasty risograph posters from prolific designer Scott Reinhard

—
Date
5 February 2014

Before setting up on his own practice under the name Scott Reinhard Co. Scott was a senior designer at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, producing a prolific stream of artist books, exhibition catalogues, signage, way-finding, promotional materials and all the other trappings of graphic design for the professional art market. Now that he’s out on his own he’s widening his remit a little, taking on branding (he’s the man responsible for Colossal’s identity), print and book projects for clients all over Chicago. Even so he’s still got time to produce some fantastically lo-fi personal work like this selection of riso prints and a poster dedicated to Woody Guthrie. Nice to see that even the pros still like to have fun in their spare time.
