1970’s Russian Posters
Posted by Scott
Dave over at Grain Edit scored a book full of amazing 1970’s-era Russian posters. Incredible stuff, I really wish someone with access to these would reprint them. That first one with the bird has got to be my favorite.

Plus I’ve sent everyone I know the link to your store. Hey its nearly christmas!
Keep up the great and inspirational work, for all our sakes!

I would really like to know how to make colors and textures like these in CS4. If you have any tips please share, or if you know of any good tutorials I would love to see them.
