With the rise of digital photography, photo film manufacturing has become a dying trade as many of the industry’s producers shut their doors.
A lover of the visually striking mid-century style of graphic design, Chicago-based designer Jerome Daksiewicz has created a series of screen prints that celebrates the brandings of companies that made analog films and other vintage photographic materials.
Featuring a bold use of color and typography, these prints mostly represent film companies that are “out of business, dead, dissolved, bankrupt or disappeared”—only one of the eight firms included in the collection is currently still in production.
It may be interesting for history buffs to know that some of these film companies were from places like East Germany and Soviet Ukraine, which no longer exist on the world map.
To get your hands on these screen prints, pledge for Daksiewicz’s Kickstarter campaign, which has already achieved its initial funding goal.
