Retro & Vintage Design
So I woke up pretty early this morning (5:30am) and thought lets work on a project that I’ve been postponing for a while… So I collected some vintage and retro art design for this long overdue project and thought some people might find it inspiring. I enjoy the branding side of business and I think this look can help a business stand out by giving it a unique and distinct flavor.
As an individual whos all about requirements gathering I find it very difficult to sit with a designer and just explain what I need. I’ve about diagrams, charts, brief statements, pictures etc. So this collection should help me with that process and also provide me with a single place to store all these pictures. Hope its useful for whatever you need it for, enjoy!
Some of these pics came came from http://www.smashingmagazine.com, an online magazine dedicated to designers and developers.
- illustrations from old posters, movies, newspapers, CDs, vinyls, ads;
- old-style typography (e.g. Roman typefaces);
- script fonts and handwriting;
- old radio devices;
- old TV devices;
- old cars;
- old packaging;
- old photos;
- vibrant rainbow colors (high contrast, neon-style);
- torn, used paper with stains (often yellowish paper);
- dark, dirty colors (brown, dark red, dark blue) and textures (e.g. paper);
- scrapbooks;
- pop-art elements (see also Pop Art Is Alive: Classics and Modern Artworks);
- retro illustrations;
- old-style signs;
- vintage and retro are often combined with a hand-drawing style and grunge style.

Cartoon drawings on the back of Business Cards
I love the idea… I think it says a lot about a person or a company. I don’t know how professional it is? But if your consultant or a blogger why not? heck if your an engineer… why not!
Business Card Brochure – Get your message out!
Mage your Business Card fold and became a Business Card Brochure! Its simple magic that can convert into more sales.
We don’t always get enough time to get the message of what we do… We sometimes we leave people with just the contact information hoping they’ll end up on our organizations website or call. But what if we can leave them with more information?
We spent enough time in Marketing to learn that we need to bring in sales. Transform your Business Card into a Brochure! Now you have 4 sides to be creative and artistic but also more room to get across what your business does!
Instead of the standard 2 by 3 1/2 inch business card design, the brochure business card is 4 by 3 1/2 inches, which is folded over once so that your business card is still the standard looking business card and it still fits into a business card holder.
Have a look at some of these samples to get ideas! Start thinking Sales, not just marketing…
