I’m really loving the vintage graphic style that Jordan Gray has going on. He uses type and colors really nicely in my opinion, and it was hard to pick one image to post (so you get three). I can’t believe that a lot of my favorites are versions that didn’t get used by the client, [...]
Kevin Cherry is an art teacher that creates fantastic mixed media collages with typographic subjects in his free time. For the most part, the collages consist of paper, photo transfer, and screen printing onto painted wood. Sounds like a lot of work, but the texture it creates is very nice.
Qamar Ramzan is a London based graphic designer that also is a pretty good portrait photographer. I especially love the custom drawn Arabic type on the above poster.
Erstlaub, a musician/designer friend of mine, designed this humorous set of cynical Christmas cards. Although I’m not so cynical about the holidays, they still made me laugh, and I love the minimal black Helvetica bold on white design.
Designer Kent Henderson had insomnia one night and decided to scan in this wonderful book entitled Examples of Modern Alphabets, Ornamental and Plain from 1864!

Wow, I’m blown away by these beautiful paper constructed typographic designs by illustrator and graphic designer Yulia Brodskya. These are sure to be a huge hit around the art and design blogs. Thanks to Holga blog where I saw it first.
Violenn Simon created this incredible book of illustrations for the Doors song, People are Strange. The video shows the pages being turned in time to the music. The typography for the lyrics and the ghostly illustrations fit the mood of the song perfectly and I love the way it’s presented in this video.
Helvetica references are getting old, but this one at artboredom.com still managed to make me smile.
I’m not exactly sure what the Golden Porsche Sessions designs are all about, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy looking at them. I love the way lomo photography is combined with modernist inspired typography to create fantastic vintage designs.
