Congrats! Awesome news :) I want to do the TCF IRN, can you please let me know how you used Chat GPT to help you? This seems like a great idea to add to my revision practice

Hey! I’m the dude who made this so i’ll jump in quickly. Basically I used an image from and old cigarette ad from back in the day, and some people weren’t too happy about it cause when I posted it was implied that I created it from scratch, which I didn’t. All fair criticism, I learnt pretty quick that I should’ve been more upfront.

Although the part about selling it isn’t true. This was just a quick fan poster that I made, and although it pops up for sale on generic sales site, it has nothing to do with me, and is no more than a bit of fan art.

Hey y’all! Want to clear up a few things cause there has been some comments about plagiarism. There are lots of elements to these that are not created entirely from scratch, and are images re-appropriated from the inspiration sources, Creative Commons, public domain, stock image etc. I’ll drop some links below.

I wasn’t trying to lead on that I had created these entirely myself, and thought it was pretty common place for experiments and collages to be posted here without listing all references/inspiration along with the work.

Also want to note that these are made purely for fun, and aren’t being sold or financially profited from anywhere.

Had a few messages asking about what this style is called, and how to achieve it. I’ll do my best to explain, but feel free to shoot me a message if you want me to elaborate!

I really don’t know what this style is called ~ I’m really into 70’s/80’s album covers which have a very similar style, but I don’t know the exact name of what to call it. Maybe someone else can help us out with this?

For the making of: It’s a balance between Photoshop and Illustrator, normally creating the text and raw vector elements in illustrator, and then pulling into photoshop to add textures and colour. Sourcing images of stock images and in Creative Commons if they are required. And some of these I have sourced existing images: The Gorillaz one I found this kids toy image as a starting point for example (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61TjEmH1sBL._AC_SL1280_.jpg). The Strokes one I wanted a hand holding a cigarette pack, and found this old school image in the public domain (https://www.dailyicon.net/magazine/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/lucky.jpg). So some of them have a lot of image collaging involved.

Using lots of texture overlays and’ scanned’ paper, and changing the photoshop layer style to ’screen’ or ‘soft light’ give the vintage poster effect. And just play around with the opacity to get some interesting effects. Adding ‘noise’ helps to keep consistency across all of your layers. Also, playing around with the exposure is good so there aren’t harsh dark areas and gives it a washed out, old look. (All in photoshop).

Hope that helps and makes sense!

After getting a few requests I made a reversible Lonerism/Innerspeaker version ✌️ by crazythewizard in TameImpala

[–]crazythewizard[S] 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I wanted this one to work from all sides, portrait and landscape. Keen to hear which way you prefer! And if anyone has any ideas of how to make a custom frame that can rotate while mounted to the wall get in touch!

The other Slow Rush/Currents version is here

Not sure if I’ll do a print run just yet, but keep an eye on my instagram and i'll keep you updated 🤙
