Return of Retro Design

..............................................................................................................................................................................
For graphic designers and typographers vintage ads are more than just eye candy. Posters and advertisements from specific time periods tell us quite a lot about fashions and trends. Isn't it strange how styles, fashions and design elements always seems to come back around. Check out some these 'Retro' graphics, from the original 1970's 'Grattan' Catalogue to some more modern takes on the past.
