Some historical design briefs from the legendary Ulm School of Design (1953-1968) were presented during a study project at the Cologne International School of Design in 2002/03, supervised by Gui Bonsiepe (who was editor of the Ulm magazine).
A website was put online in 2002/03. It is still available via the Wayback Machine. Some briefs:
Otl Aicher : Schematische Darstellung komplexer Sachverhalte
Gui Bonsiepe : Einführung in die visuelle Semantik
Tomás Maldonado : hüllen für schallplatten (ulm 8/9)
In this exercise (1962/63), students have to create an album cover for an LP. The works assigned are by composers Mauricio Kagel (Transicion I, Transicion II, Antithese), Karlheinz Stockhausen (Zyklus), and Franco Evangelisti.
