Wow Glue, if somebody had posted this as a genuine old advert/poster they had found from the 80's i would not have doubted it for a second.

Great work mate.

Dude...looks awesome. Only thing i'd say though is the font for "From sharp minds come sharp products" doesn't look right...i dunno.

Thanks guys!
The shot of the QT90 is one of those HDR deallies, I think it's about six shots made into one, to get all the shadow depth while keeping the high lights.

Scotty: the Sharp tag line in the corner just scaled craply when I reduced the image size down, had to reduce it to 60% or so of the original size and then it's scaled further when it's displayed on here. Looks perfect on the 8meg original. If anyone would like full res copy for their collections or to print out I can up the full res one.



Rock On.

Nice work Glue! :thumbsup: :-)

A few comments (I'm not an art director, but I play one on the interwebs ;-) ):

* Handle might look better if it was straight up
* Love the synch'd tape reel positions
* Droopy antenna shadow is kinda odd
* Love the blinds/9 1/2 Weeks reference
* Some fonts don't seem "correct" (it was all Linotype and Letraset back then)

Go!

Thanks Miles!

Theres lots of these I'm going to do so getting things like fonts and such correct will be an ongoing thing. Thanks heaps for comments.



Rock On.
