AIGA Design Archives
http://designarchives.aiga.org/#/home
The American Institute for Graphic Arts was founded in 1914, and today it is simply known as AIGA. The archives of the AIGA have thousands of images, including entries from their annual juried design competition, which started in 1924. Visitors can view a list of all the "Collections", or they can choose to "Browse" the archives. Visitors choosing "Browse” are offered their choice of filters such as "format", "industry", "location" and "color". The color filter allows visitors to choose from 120 colors, and the results are beautiful; visitors will want to spend their time trying different selections here. Moving on, the discipline category covers thirteen areas, such as "Promotional Design and Advertising", "Environmental Graphic Design", "Package Design", and "Typographic Design". Visitors inclined to view by collection, should definitely look at "The Mental Menagerie: A Five Year Retrospective", which has contemporary animal images. Visitors with a certain humorous sensibility can decide if the designs in "The Humor Show" really are funny, and they may be pleasantly surprised by some of the material here. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2011. http://scout.wisc.edu/
