Computer Arts Assignment


The Computer Arts website has a tutorial on how to make retro-looking Photoshop creation. You can find the article here. This is a semi-awesome tutorial that teaches you how to make an ad that looks like it was in a magazine a long time ago; it's extremely informative (if you know how to use Photoshop). What I found interesting was when the author took the back of a songbook and made it their background.Old advertisements always look super cool, so this would be a fun thing to do later on.

  2. I like how you mentioned the info about how they used the old songbook. Just by looking at the image, I would have never thought they used that.

  4. Totally agree on the "old advertisements always look super cool" thing. It definitely feels nostalgic and looks authentic because of the (for lack of a better word) speckled look. I could definitely see that greenish color being used back then.

  6. "Free" definitely pops out a lot in the design. The checkered design and the soft colors make it look retro. Elbow grease is some awesome stuff

  7. The colors compliment each other, and there is sort of a faded look to it as well. Very aesthetically pleasing.
