One of the winners of the prestigious ADC Young Guns 9 competition, Jon Contino has already proved his talent to the Art Directors Club community. This New York native represents a new generation of various designers creating modern minimalist design but with an attentiveness to the past; a vintage style with a twist, updated and reinvigorated. Textured logo, script typography, hand-drawn lettering, minimal illustration, limited retro-inspired color choices, his creative palette is vast.
While hispters from trendy Williasmburg in Brooklyn can only try to copy, Jon Contino ensures the longevity of this Brooklyn style. Bitten apple, Pizza slices, racing bikes, red beanies, jean shirts, it’s all there, pure New york 100% Brooklyn.
He knows how to capture the mood of the moment without being ephemeral. Big corporations such as Coca-Cola, Nike and The New York Times had already paid for his services.
His style is definitely hip and happening, we think the world will love it while the hispters will probably hate it.
