The Future Was Here

Vintage 2.0 – Glossy Retro Takes Over Web Design
An Inspired Mag reader said a few posts ago that the round corner buttons are dead. I think precisely the same mate, I know how you feel about the so-called web 2.0 buttons and shiny blingos! But what about this new futuretro style, that combines the web 2.0 (clean) look with a vintage touch?

We’ve made a roundup of 25 websites that mix the retro with the shiny. What do you guys think about this style?

This is from Inspired Mag Daily Graphic Design Inspiration. I love the retrofuture feel, and I eagerly hope to see it applied frequently. The best example I've seen so far is Bradley Schenk's Webomator blog. Check it out now, if you ignored my earlier post.

Pic of The Litter

Today's Pic of The Litter is "Trees for Tomorrow" by Bradley W. Schenk. It is PSA from Schenk's imaginary world of Retropolis, a setting that is one-part Buck Rogers and one-part Franklin D. Roosevelt. Imagine the New Deal with Rocket Science. As a fan of FDR's CCC, I found this piece a must-buy, but I had to put it on the list of things to buy once finances improve. If you dig retrofuturism, mad science, rocket ships, and robots, check out Schenk's other works at his Deviantart page and his blog. This one is defintely going on the blog roll, folks.
