Retro Design
The design observer had an AWESOME blog entry (as most of them are) on May 23rd - designobserver.com. It was about turn-of-the-century travel posters, which I too, Eric Baker, am also a sucker for. I love the idea of “far-away lands” and embarking on journey to a place I’ve never dreamed. I’ve never embarked on a journey. But what this entry really got me thinking about was designers who use this retro language (successfully). And a man named Eric Tan immediately came to mind. erictanart.blogspot.com
Eric Tan is, first of all, an amazing designer/artist, and best known for the retro-style posters he did for Pixar’s: The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and now UP. He translates Pixar’s 3-D character’s so seamlessly into this style of layered flat color and simple gradients. His approach to these posters has almost become a trademark of Pixar films, and I look forward to them almost as much as the film itself.
