There’s no better reminder of the past than old letters, stationery and postage stamps.

We still use paper letters, but now they carry extra weight because we tend to reserve them for special occasions. These vintage letter and postage brushes help your audience associate your print design with that special feeling of receiving a letter in the mail.<\/p>\n

Sign and Advertisement Brushes<\/h3>\n

What better way to inject your marketing designs with a retro flavor than to pull images and aesthetics directly from old marketing materials? Back in the day, print designers didn’t have Photoshop to help them craft their designs. They had to do everything by hand, including logos, lettering and any illustrations or visual components. These vintage sign and advertisement brushes bring a bit of that handmade quality back to life, but in a way that’s much easier on the wrist.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n

Nostalgia can be potent, but you have to know how and why to use it in your designs. Remember that just adding free vintage Photoshop brushes to your project won’t necessarily create the sense of nostalgia you’re hoping for; images and design elements from the 1940s won’t appeal much to a viewer who grew up in the 1980s. Make sure you know your audience and understand the types of imagery they’re most likely to identify with.<\/p>\n
