cover design by Wolfgang Weingart

while the layout of the inner pages was done by author manfred maier, the impressum credits another designer for the covers: wolfgang weingart (*1941), a basel school typographer from the generation after ruder/hofmann.

this course books were also translated into english and published by van nostrand reinhold, new york, under the title: “the foundation program at the school of design basel switzerland: basic principles of design”.
