@filip Blažek and Linda Kudrnovská’s seven-part documentary series on Czech design is now online with English subtitles: https://identitaproject.com/#content_plan1_ID

I especially enjoyed the segment on movie posters in Episode 2 (with an appearance from Zdeněk Ziegler, who sadly passed away before the series was complete) https://youtu.be/WEZ39WCdlKk?si=vbGFDl7W045qdAF4&t=858

identita – příběh českého grafického designu

This is such a fantastic example of Czech design. I absolutely love the super clear map design of the Krkonoš region with those signs created by Kamil Vladislav Muttich. The more I observe and learn about Czech design, the more intrigued and interested I become - there are so many great things to discover here.
