Eduardo Recife is a Brazilian Graphic Designer and Typographer. He has been in the design business since the 90's, his website 'Misprinted Type' features his personal work. Recife has a unique, vintage style which is easily recognisable as his. He discussed his style in an interview, saying; 'old graphics were unbelievably more beautiful than what we have today. It was more poetic, and the colours were more attractive.'
Recife has done much work for large clients such as, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and the band Panic! at the Disco.

Recife uses a range of processes to create his work, such as hand rendered skills, collage and photography. Techniques that I also enjoy using, which could be why I like Recife's style so much. I also like the surreal aspects of his work, I like the fact that the viewer has to work out a possible meaning behind the image, in my opinion it makes Recife's work very exciting and interesting to look at.
