<p style="text-align:justify;">
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.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Every design listed in this article, except for a couple prototypes, is currently available brand new. These are not vintage or refurbished items. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On a previous article I wrote about <a href="http://www.creativecloseup.com/home-decor-for-absolute-geeks">Home decor for absolute geeks</a>, 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.</p>
<span id="more-12"></span>
<p style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:50px;">I would like to give special thanks to Eric Martin from <a href="http://www.photoshopsupport.com">Photoshop Support</a> 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.</p>
