Alex Fowkes - graphic designer, typographer, illustrator...



I ran across Alex Fowkes in Communication Arts Advertising Annual (Nov/Dec 2013) in the "Fresh" section. His bold typography was what first caught my eye. The second thing was his retro flair. Check out the colors on the images I've attached, and the layout, etc. and you'll see what I mean.




The second image has even been made to look older in the way the colors have muted out in places (like chipped paint, etc.). It makes me think of the old drive-in restaurant I used to go to in my home-town. 


The final image is part of a campaign he did for Fila - Japan for their spring/summer line of golf and tennis apparel. They "approached me to help them build a fun typographic campaign..."

Check out some of his other work at his website.
