Design Trend: Vintage Letterpress Inspired Graphic Design

Media_httpi2wpcomwebt_zbpas

There have been several attempts at reviving vintage graphic design and reinventing them into fresh new ideas. Probably the most used element within vintage revivals are pop culture icons – we’ve seen the likes of Monroe, Hepburn, and other post-war icons revived and used as a muse in different posters and digital paintings. Apart from movie and music icons, there’s the bitmap style that we’ve first seen during the early days of video gaming.

Of course these styles haven’t completely disappeared from our current graphic design trend. They still thrive within different art circles and are well appreciated. But in recent years we’ve seen a different kind of design derived from the past – the vintage letterpress.
