Old Paper Part 5
5th edition — by Patrick McNeil — Jun. 13, 2008
The Design Element
Some styles just never die, and the use of old worn paper is certainly one of them. This is not to suggest that in any way it should. No more then we should decided that the color blue should no longer be used because so many others have. As the saying goes, there is nothing new, only new combinations (actually, I think I just horribly misquoted the bible). Anyhow, this design style is fun for one main reason, it breaks the techie feel sites seem to come with.
