I saw a poster series somewhere in my internet travels and today during my lunch break at work I wanted to do "something creative". I decided to make my own version of a vintage Beetle poster.

(Apologies to the person's poster I am emulating)[symple_box color="blue" text_align="left" width="100%" float="none"]Update: I found the poster series I was looking at a while ago. I am surprised how much detail I remembered from the poster.[/symple_box]

Just to make sure I am giving credit where credit is due. Here are all the sources for the components used to make this poster:

The original photo is from the great collection of CC images over at: www.gratisography.com/

Text of the poster is summarised from the wikipedia article.

The fonts used in this poster are:

  • Title at top. A script font selected from dafont.com by Qkila
  • Body text is the free font I just found yesterday called Bebas and I linked to it in a previous post.
  • Title at bottom. This font is the license plate font I found in the package included with the download for a Photoshop tutorial on a vanity license plate. I found this sometime in 2009. I kept the font around in case I could use it somewhere. The article is still around at PSHERO
