FYI Monday: Vintage Minimal Graphic Design by Nathan Shinkle
This post is part of the For Your Inspiration Monday Series showcasing the most inspiring designs out there. Each week a new artist or design style will be presented in order to get your creative juices flowing for the upcoming week. I hope you enjoy the series.
Nathan Shinkle is self-proclaimed creative professional from Indianapolis though he’s worked under the titles of graphic designer, artist, interactive designer, t-shirt guy… to name just a few. Recently he’s been swept up by Adidas where he works as Senior Designer. Nathan’s work has a very minimal vintage feel to it and reminds me of artists such as Scott Hansen, with the difference that he leans more towards the illustration side of this style. I hope you enjoy Nathan’s gorgeous artwork as much as I do. For more inspiration please visit his portfolio. You can also find him on Twitter.
You can see the modernist influences very clearly here. My favourite has to be the second poster, the design looks like one of those graffiti stickers, not only for the black and white illustrative style but also for the texture applied, it almost looks like it was photographed. I’m really liking what looks like a melted bench in the first poster too.
Nice inspiration Franz! The minimalistic posters are really beautiful with nice colour schemes. But the Form and Finger Eleven ones, which are less minimalistic, looks amazing! The sky seems to draw you in.
