40 Vintage Retro Style Website Design Inspiration

We’ve looked previously at retro illustrations, now let’s see one of the ways you can use them: retro or vintage-style web design. It is a very effective way of creating a striking design for your site, precisely because of the huge contrast between a style that makes you relate to the past perspective on things and the extremely modern and newly technological nature of a web-site. The very phrase retro/vintage site hints to a paradox: one couldn’t have even imagined this kind of technology in the past! Therefore, using a very authentically retro theme for your site would help your visitors see all these daily realities that they’re so used to from a new, unexpected perspective.

40 Vintage Retro Style Website Design Inspiration

It’s always going to provoke you a strangely pleasant feeling to see things from our day to day, seemingly ordinary reality, like Youtube, RSS, Twitter, or the email dressed in this crumpled, slightly rusty coat of the past.

Amazingly Unbelievable Pixel Art of eBoy

This time we’ll be looking at some absolutely amazing example of pixel art: the work of eBoy from Berlin, which is actually a group of artists that collaborate for their extraordinary pixel art projects: Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Svend Smital. We should start by discussing what pixel art represents: it is a special type of digital illustration, because it is  created using a raster graphics software and it actually means painstaking detail-work for every image- it must be edited at pixel level!

Amazingly Unbelievable Pixel Art of eBoy

This type of graphics is usually used in computer and video games, or mobile phone games. However, we are going to look at a group of artists who have managed to create extremely detailed compositions using pixel art and have deservedly broken into the fields of advertising or magazine illustrations as well. The works in this collection are first of all the result of a long and elaborate creation process. As you can see, their compositions can be printed on huge posters and billboards! It’s hard to imagine that all this was actually drawn all pixel level but that is the fact, actually.

Of course, the graphic designers also re-create re-usable pixel objects and take them to build their complex artwork. The artists were fascinated by the digital media and decided to make the most of it and they have surely managed! Their pixel illustrations are true works of art!

38 Pop Art Minimalist Style Film Poster Designs

This time we will be trying to see some sources of influence and inspiration for minimalist graphics. As we all know, minimalism was originally an art trend from which general design, and graphic design as well, derived. It is more than natural, therefore, for graphic designers to look at some excellent examples o abstract art for inspiration. We mean to prove in this article that art and graphics are not two completely isolated fields and that many inter-relations are possible.

38 Pop Art Minimalist Style Film Poster Designs

A second point that we want to make is that simply placing a simple-lined image or a shape on a colored background and adding a title in a corner does not make a good minimalist poster. There are some very subtle compositional rules that one should keep in mind when designing such a poster and finding the perfect rapport between the elements is even more difficult because they are just a few. I have compared some film posters to some abstract paintings they might have been influenced by (more or less directly) in order to make a point about the importance of finding compositional balance between graphic elements.
