Vintage Magazine Scans

Posted by Scott






Eric Carl (who also brought us these vintage sci-fi book covers and these classic logos) has a beautifully scanned set of vintage ads from magazines up. They’re all high res so it’s a goldmine for textures and overlays. I love how magazine print breaks up at high resolution. The moire patterns are very useful when blown up in compositions; I use them a lot for posters.

if u like that style, i recommend a magazin called “twen”, designed by the genius willy fleckhaus in the 70ies. and if u like fleckhaus, u should take a look at the edition suhrkamp. don’t know why i recommend that now, but it’s also awesome.

Nice one Scott, and since you’ve mentioned it, any chance of elaborating on overlaying/texturing tricks of the trade? Not really like a tutorial, simply more detailed insight of what you’ve already said here, in another blog post? :)

you mentioned using these pictures in new work..are there any restrictions on using these in a new design? Is in this case Eric Carl who one should contact about rights?
