This Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Tips

Retro design is enjoying a huge modern day revival – and it’s big business. Retro graphics are appearing everywhere, from T-shirts to print and web design. It seems the best way to get ahead these days is to go retro – so in this tutorial we’ll draw a heavy dose of inspiration from the 70s and create a funky poster with tons of retro appeal.

As far as techniques go, we will show you how to give present day images the vintage work over. We will use Illustrator to create cool type from scratch using paths and custom brushes. This is a comprehensive tutorial that weighs in at nearly one hundred steps.

I would choose a dark, chocolate brown, lime green color and a medium almost lighter blue. Maybe doing a really funky painting on you wall would help show that "crafty" side of you.

Find a TON of shelves and storage containers and then before you paint and reorganize your room go through EVERYTHING. Get rid of the things you don't use, haven't worn. This will help tremendously with the clutter situation.

i have both. a new civic coupe thats very fuel efficient but also looks like a tuner car. in my opinion fuel economy is a lot more important than looks. gas WILL be 5-6 dollars a gallon in a year, so keep that in mind.
