The Austrian designer Albert Exergian loves three things: posters, modernism, and television. But seeing as he didn't have a client commissioning any work related to that holy triumvirate, he took it upon himself to create a set of elegant (if pricey) posters, which manage communicate something essential about The Wire, Dexter, Magnum P.I., and other legendary TV programs through simple imagery. The body of work is called Iconic TV, and it's tough to imagine a better, more minimal execution of this concept.
