AAARetro and vintage designs are often considered as being

outdated, looking old, unattractive and dull. That’s not true.

Although compared to modern design, retro is mostly a

completely different realm, it has a large variety of benefits

modern graphic designers often tend to overlook. And

that’s a pity. Because we, as designers, can learn a lot from

it. Nostalgic designs arise feelings, awake memories and

better manage to involve broad range of readers even

although they don’t really realize it. Furthermore, retro

can look cool and offer readers or visitors something

they haven’t expected at all. So why not try to impress

them with some impressive vintage art for a change?

Below you’ll find the celebration of retro and vintage

design — ads, illustrations, book covers, pins and posters

from 1920-1980s. The images weren’t necessarily created

in the mid of 20th century. Vintage is living today which

is why this post also features artists and designers who

make use of the vintage and retro style in their works.

VAULTED, Designed by Voranouth, Fall 2012

Inspired by gothic ceilings of european cathedrals.
