Tutorial for using old airline ad layouts when designing icons?
March 8, 2010 2:09 PM
Years ago, I read a wonderful tutorial someone posted on livejournal explaining how to use and modify old [airline, I think] ad layouts when designing icons. I vaguely remember a few samples with the basic shapes and layouts pulled from them, side by side. I can't seem to find it again. Can anyone help me find it?
All I remember is that this tutorial discussed the way older ads used simply shapes to divide up the space in the ad and let the eye move across the page interesting ways, and it had some wonderful examples. I think it was airline ads, but I'm not sure.
The point of the tutorial was making 100x100 pixel livejournal icons, though that's not why I'm looking for it again now.
Thanks!
