Ernst Keller (1891-1968). Lehrer und Pionier des Swiss Style
Verschiedentlich und insbesondere in den USA, wird in der Geschichtsschreibung des Graphic Design auf Ernst Keller als Vater des sogenannten Swiss Style, später International Typographic Style, hingewiesen. Diese Tatsache gründet auf der grossen Anzahl von Keller-Schülern, die später diesen Swiss Style geprägt und berühmt gemacht haben. Die Leistung von Keller wird einzig durch sein Oeuvre, vor allem seine Plakatgestaltung oder seine Beschäftigung im Zusammenhang mit Schrift- und Grafik in der Architektur, gewürdigt.
Fundamental jedoch ist Ernst Kellers Beitrag zur Entwicklung von innovativen, nicht akademischen didaktischen Prinzipien in der Gestaltungsausbildung. Seine Lehrtätigkeit ab 1918 kann als eines der weltweit ersten systematischen Ausbildungsprogramme für Graphic Design definiert werden.

Aus der intensiven Lehrtätigkeit von 1918 bis 1956 sind sehr unterschiedliche Gestalterinnen und Gestalter hervorgegangen. Es sind dies die Protagonisten der neuen Grafik wie Richard Paul Lohse, Josef Müller-Brockmann und Carlo Vivarelli oder verschiedenste illustrativ-künstlerische Talente wie Heiri Steiner, Lora Lamm oder K. Domenic Geissbühler und innovative Gestalter wie Hermann Eidenbenz oder Gérard Miedinger. Wissenschaftliche Illustratoren wie H.P. Weber oder der Karikaturist H.U. Steger. Einen anderen Schwerpunkt bilden Gestalter mit internationaler Lehrtätigkeit wie Pierre Gauchat, Walter Käch, Robert Sessler, Fred Troller, Josef Müller-Brockmann und andere. Diese Vielfalt der Talente dokumentiert eindrucksvoll die Offenheit, Nachhaltigkeit und jede Dogmatik negierende Lehrtätigkeit von Ernst Keller.

Ernst Keller (1891-1968). Teacher and pioneer of the Swiss Style
In various different places, particularly in the USA, when writing the history of graphic design, Ernst Keller is referred to as the father of Swiss Style, later International Typographic Style. This is down to the large number of Keller students, who later shaped this Swiss Style and made it famous. Keller’s achievement is shown purely using his oeuvre, primarily his poster designs and his work on lettering and graphic design in architecture.
Ernst Keller’s contribution to the development of innovative, non-academic didactic principles in design training plays a fundamental role. His teaching activity starting in 1918 can be defined as one of the first systematic training programmes for graphic design in the world.

Design Struggles critically assesses the ways in which the design field is involved in creating, perpetuating, promoting and reinforcing injustice and inequality in social, political, economic, cultural and ecological systems. This book shows how this entanglement arose from Eurocentric and neoliberal thinking. The voices and practices represented here propose to question and disrupt the discipline of design from within, by problematizing the very notions of design. They aim to do so by generating new, anti-racist, post-capitalist, queer-feminist, environmentally conscious and community-based ideas on how to transform design. In this way, Design Strugglesstrives to forge sustainable, new practices within the design field that challenge the status quo and amplify underrepresented voices, both in the world of design, as well as beyond.

Not at Your Service. Manifestos for Design | Björn Franke, Hansuli Matter (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, «quick and dirty» design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise.
