Jose Berrio Mashes Up Analogue Textures and Typography to Create Retro-Futuristic Illustrations

Jose Berrio is a <a href="https://dirtybarn.com/category/graphic-design/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">graphic designer</a> and <a href="https://dirtybarn.com/category/illustration/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">illustrator</a>, who pursued his passion at the crossroads of music and illustration. He is born in Bogotá, Colombia and is now based in New York City. Berrio’s work features warm tones, nostalgic textures, and playful typography, adding a touch of quirkiness and delivering a memorable style. Jose Berrio completed his graphic design education at Lasalle College Bogota. Right after that, he started his career in the advertising industry. And honestly, as a person who pivoted from advertising, I have observed this path many times and it is common all around the globe. Language changes, culture changes, and client expectations evolve, but advertising provides a reliable 9–5 job, at least from a parental perspective. And I am delighted when someone rejects that path and decides to carve their own. Jose Berrio did that after receiving awards at Cannes Lions and Effie Awards. In 2015, he resigned from his full-time job and focused on what moves him; illustration and music-centered projects. This is my interpretation however, I sense that this is where he feels more passionate and finds greater satisfaction in the process of creation. <a href="https://medium.com/@dirtybarn/jose-berrio-mashes-up-analogue-textures-and-typography-to-create-retro-futuristic-illustrations-c8471971a9e1">Read More</a>
