Graphic Design: Update from designer Vincent Vrints' colourful portfolio

—
Date
18 July 2013

We last come across Belgian graphic designer Vincent Vrints last December when we were instantly sucked into his colourful world of prints and posters, and looking back over the most recent updates in his portfolio convinced us that he’s in this for the long haul. A look at his new work reveals the same trendy experimentation with form and type, but in a seemingly more grown-up fashion, playing with a more painterly technique and a pop-art half tone. What’s more, its still shows a rainbow spectrum of colour, which we’re not ashamed to admit sucks us in like moths to a halogen light bulb.

A typographic poster in green and white features the word “CAMO” in large, bold letters. A fluid, green line loops across the text, while a central block reads “A conversation between the analog and the digital through the disruptive nature of camouflage”.
