Pixar & Video Game Minimalism by Boris Lechaftois


















Its really great to see the impact that films, television shows, and games have on fans, especially when those fans are graphic designers that visualize their own simple take on them.  Its become somewhat of a trend in recreating iconic images of these that represent the memorable idea or theme, where upon looking at these images you're able to identify directly with what your takeaway feeling was.  Boris Lechaftois is from Toulouse, France, and has contributed some nice minimal posters to the fan pool.

Vintage Product & Advertising Labels



































Fascination for anything vintage, antique, retro, or limited edition will always be alluring to graphic designers across multiple disciplines.  After coming across this Flickr set of old labels from Joan Thewlis, you can really absorb and appreciate the much more straight forward and honest style of product graphic design that doesnt need to be flashy with artistry and witty with copy.
