Out of San Jose, Patrick Concepcion is a designer/artist who has been making some amazing silk screen and offset litho posters for everyone from Jack's Mannequin to Conan O'Brien. I recently contacted him to ask him a few questions about his work. His amazing "vintage" photographs are all shot by him or are found images in old library books! He either uses the photo as is or makes really simple and clever "collages". His minimal use of color is what really makes his work so amazing. Check more of his stuff out at concepcionstudios.com
Hey, Miah. First of all, yes, I do stalk you. Secondly, have you heard of the Metro interface? It's a design approach from Microsoft that also uses minimal color. It's used in the Zune HD, the Zune software for Windows, and the upcoming amazing awesome awesomeness know as Windows Phone 7 (you should google it with Bing). Others have started to adopt it (see: MetroTwit). I think it's beautiful, and I'm wondering what you think of it. One good way of seeing it from a Mac is through this wp7 review: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/windows-phone-7-in-depth-preview/
