A font of retro-inspiration, Grain Edit is dedicated to mid-century graphic design and its contemporary disciples.
With an aesthetic shaped by design heroes such as Milton Glaser, Charley Harper, and Paul Rand, the Oakland-based site hand-picks vintage brochures, illustrations, stamps, children’s books, posters, and even home plans for its ongoing visual throwback. Visitors can also read in-depth interviews with today’s leading designers, download one-of-a-kind desktop wallpapers, and vie for coveted giveaways.
Browse the site, read an interview with artist Kevin Dart, scroll through some vintage Porsche posters, download a desktop wallpaper, get on the Grain Edit RSS feed, and follow the site’s favorite tweeting designers.
