Rink Designs Rink Designs. Small size design studio helping you realize your big ideas. www.rinkdesigns.com

Rink Designs is a 1-man design machine based out of Los Angeles, California and is the brain child of graphic designer and artist John Rinkenberg. We here at Rink Designs specialize in edgy and creative print/web work, but that is no where near as far as our hand extends… We’ve created clean and modern identity packages, websites you can almost touch, interactive environments you fall into, envir

onmental graphics you’ll drool over, album artwork that burns into your retinas, and photo retouching so sexy you’ll have everyone’s full attention. Rink Designs unique work has never gone unnoticed among the community either, racking up awards and contest wins throughout the years. Backed by a Bachelors Degree from Purdue University in Visual Communications Design and a thirst for creativity that dates back to 1988, we have your design needs covered. We have been a proud slave to the Adobe Creative Suite since 2003 and can man handle both PC and MAC systems. Outside of the freelance world we have professional experience working for such entities as Purdue University, Eyes of the World Media Group, and Red Carpet Tips so we are no strangers to collaboration and how a professional design studio should be run. The Bottom Line: Whether you need something designed with a unique and creative edge like no other, or you need to stand out in a sea of mindless advertising… look no further, you’ll be at home right here.

One for an exciting new player in the aerospace industry who aims to revolutionize the way we look at flight and another for a delicious taco truck who is finally making the jump to a brick and mortar!

Big things on the horizon, keep your eyes peeled!

And this one's a wrap! Branding for "The Conical Cup" A NEPA Homebrewers competition held by the Luzerne County Brewers. Super psyched on the outcome of this one. Tried to achieve a letterpress-esque feel and I think I succeeded!

Cheers!

Time to get some weekend work done! On today's schedule, branding for a micro brewery beer competition. Excited to see my final product for them. Thought I'd do some "research" into the brand while working on it... Just kidding, I wanted a beer.

Enjoy your Saturday everyone!

A dying, but insanely beautiful trade. A film from my days at Purdue with one of my professors Dennis Ichiyama. I wasn't too crazy about his love for wood type when I was younger, but now I only wish I would have taking the opportunity to travel to the Hamilton Type Museum.

You can also watch a low-res version of the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ZKA2GcJmc

Watch the trailer and download TypeFace 2010 on iTunes.

Further exploration/practice with Adobe Ink and Slide created in Adobe Line. Egg from the film "Alien," a huge inspiration to me as a kid and still to this day.

It's that time again... THROWBACK! This time it's one of my winning t-shirt designs for Smart Bar Chicago back in 2010 or 2011. Really, really, wish the 1st Place Design could have gotten manufactured as well but it was too costly to print.

While this was more of a personal project it's time to throw it back once again...

My Logitech keyboard re-created in Adobe Illustrator from scratch. Flexed my pen tool muscles on this once... circa 2011 I believe.
