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 favourite features from the world of graphic design.
What has caught our eye in the last time and before?

I love 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 can understand that this is a horror film from the 60s.

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've had to tackle a new chair for my office in the last few weeks because the old one was falling apart, I've fulfilled a dream in the form of the Interstuhl AG Silver Chair from design studio Hadi Teherani. This great office chair from 2003, which was also featured in the Bond movie Quantum of Solace, is simply a hit for me with 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 even so, the logo has become iconic and this type of graphic has been used at different 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.

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

Take Take Take is not only a publishing company 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 '80s are in. It inspires TV shows, movies, fashion, music. In February 2020, my favourite La Roux returned to the music scene. After a very long hiatus, the British synthpop queen has released her next album Supervision and wrapped it in a great visual coat of the 80s. Great music, great design.
