Mexico 68

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

 

Exactly 40 years ago, the 1968 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XIX Olympiad, were held in Mexico City.

It is the only Games ever held in Latin America, and it was the second to be hosted outside of Europe, Australia, or the United States.

Here is some of the great grafic design by Lance Wyman and mexican architect Pedro Ramirez Vazquez “based on traditional forms from Mexican culture mixed with the 60’s Op-art style”. Truly one of the most important moments in Mexico’s graphic design history.
