Artist's Comments

I've wanted to design a retro poster for so long it's crazy. After seeing some cool clothing ads from 1900-1950 I decided to actually do something about it.

I honestly thought the whole thing would be a lot easier but at the same time I'm glad that I learned a lot from the process. I had a very clear vision what kind of gothic font the poster should have. In the end that's actually 3 fonts and 3 vector letters that form the words "Polka Dots" since none of the free fonts were exactly what I was looking for.

I wanted the dress to be fun but not funny and retro instead of old.

I love the old fashion ads where human form is there just to show the product unlike nowdays where it's all about the underweight celebrity models.

Beautiful pic! It's quite simple but very effective, I love the shading.
I agree with you, there's too much focus on the models over the products now.

I know there's two legs there, but it looks like she only has one. But I like the overall picture!

Very nice, I love how minimal & dress-oriented it is!
