Joshua Vides, a graphic designer and visual artist based out of Southern California, has announced 'Commercial Break' a new creative project and exhibition at 'Sai' in Tokyo. As part of Commercial Break, Vides has partnered with several companies to release different sets of merchandise, including streetwear with 'WTAPS' and coffee-flavored treats from 'KITH TREATS.'
Vides advertised this creative project in a video inspired by television commercials from the 80s. With the title Commercial Break, Vides is using this opportunity to embrace a different creative style than what he is accustomed to. Vides has become famous for its black-and-white color scheme, leading to this design strategy being used in high-profile collaborations with the likes of BMW and many more. As such, the Commercial Break uses a full range of colors inspired by retro comics and retro television programs.
