Vintage News Graphics
Vintage News Graphics
A series of graphics reimagining major modern hip-hop events through the lens of vintage aesthetics.
Challenge
My challenge was to report on modern hip-hop stories—the Drake vs. Kendrick beef and Gunna's "P Star" launch—through the lens of vintage newspaper and TV graphics, creating authentic, era-specific designs.
Goals
Emulate the typography and layout of old newspapers.
Translate the drama of the Drake vs. Kendrick beef into a compelling "special report" graphic.
Design a separate graphic for Gunna's "P-Star" that feels like a vintage lifestyle or fashion feature.
Use textures and faded colors to create a convincing retro feel.
Solution
I used a dense, newspaper style for the rap battle and a softer, magazine look for the fashion story. Both were treated with halftone effects and aged textures to capture an authentic retro feel.
