It's little known, but April 27 is World Graphic Design Day. Since 1963. To support such an important day, this year the Telegraph team is symbolically joining in and sharing their tips and favourites from the world of graphics and design.
What's caught our eye in the last era and before?

I love the retro styling and Rosemary's Baby is an immortal classic. The film isn't particularly special, nor was I at the screening, but from the poster even a layman will understand that this is a 60s horror film.

Dexter Sinister, Watch Wyoscan 0.5 Hz. It's not something that's caught my attention lately. But time is immortal, after all.

The Netflix series Abstract is a celebration of design in all its forms. From graphics to art to architecture. Two series, fourteen episodes.

Because I had to deal with a new chair for my office in the last few weeks, as the old one was falling apart, I made my dream come true in the form of the Interstuhl AG Silver Chair by design studio Hadi Teherani. This great office chair from 2003, which also starred in the Bond movie Quantum of Solace, is simply a hit for me for its ultimate design!

Hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. is considered one of the most influential in the history of hip-hop culture. Their logo is original and it's important to note that at the time it was created - circa 1982 - there weren't as many options as graphic designers have today and yet the logo has become iconic and this type of graphic has been used at various times for different products and slogans. The logo was designed by Stephanie Nash and the font can be found in Microsoft Word under the name Franklin Gothic Heavy.

Perhaps for the first time in history, the iconic body shapes of the 1933 T77 elevated the automobile to the level of a distinctive work of art.

Take Take Take is not only a publishing house but also a studio that combines a love of design with original illustration. In doing so, the duo of Jindřich Janicek and Nikola Klímová have managed to create an easily recognizable signature among other books on the shelves of bookstores.

The 1980s are now in full swing. It inspires TV shows, films, fashion, music. In February 2020, my favourite La Roux will return to the music scene. After a very long hiatus, the British synthpop queen has released her next album Supervision, wrapping it in a great visual coat of the eighties. Great music, great design.
