Really nice work. Love the carpet texture. I'm pretty sure though that it isn't italian design. The chair is by Arne Jacobsen and the lamp looks like a h+lamp&btnG=S%C3%B8g"PH lamp

hmmm, it is a well composed piece, however just a few things taht take away form it, firstly i think u shouldn't have copied and pasted the lights and the carpet, it looks obvious and really draws my eye to them. What r u doin this for?
Good concept tho. i like how u have used the retro coupe in the pic

heya. yeah i wasnt trying to hide the fact that the lights were the same, i kinda wanted the repitition. as for hte carpet, well i thought that i mixed it up enough :S oh well.
thanks adn im jsut piss farting round with this... no purpose.

Man, retro is all about the curves! The lines look really scraggaly (especially the wires to the light fixtures). If I were you, I'd really clean up all of it so it was extra-slick and just had really sexy curves on everything, then put a cool, thin outline that's sorta independent from the object. Y'know what I mean? Like, off-center and slightly off where the outline should be in certain parts to really accent the curves. You do it on the picture frame in the background, but I think it should be cleaner, y'know?
I really really love where you're going with this. Retro is such a great style. Keep studying examples of old retro ads and stuff. I know you'll definitely make some really cool things with it.

ah k sounds cool. i might make changes and submit them both in a pack. cos before i even thought of doing retro, i wanted to use my tablet cos it gives that handrawn effecy. and i totally agree with what ur saying about what retro is. i think ive gotta stop doing something cso "i really want to do it" and do what should be done - ie straight curves. adn use the scrbible style on anotehr piece. thanks again.

Haha. I haven't been spoiled with a pen tablet. Do you use a Wacom? I'm looking into investing in one. Any model/brand suggestions?

i use wacom intuos 2. sum top designer guy that came to give us a lecture uses a intuos 1 and says taht wacom is def the best. as for thier models i dont know enough about them. its actually dads but he hasnt bothered to learn how to use it, so i stole it
