Cool Retro Style Applied to Modern Designs

Retro design is like creative candy to our eyes. The correct recreation of the most successful and representative styles from the near past can end up in a design that can both usable and decorative at the same time.

Every design listed in this article, except for a couple prototypes, is currently available brand new. These are not vintage or refurbished items.

On a previous article I wrote about Home decor for absolute geeks, I was asked by many geeky visitors to place purchase links at every item I listed. So, this time, bellow each image you will find a link to the product description page and a link to different purchase options.

I would like to give special thanks to Eric Martin from Photoshop Support for helping me with this article. Photoshop Support is one of the most informative and complete Photoshop sites on the web. If you are a Photoshop user, the you must visit his site.
