theme challenge
Antiquing
⭐📽️⭐
This challenge is to create icons that look antique, like a vintage silent movie, or an old, deteriorating historical photograph.
Totally black & white or sepia coloring is not required, but some element of your icons should look antique or ancient.
For example: Egyptian hieroglyphics, Roman numerals, medieval style fonts, Renaissance era papers, or Victorian wallpaper patterns.
Remember to go for an antique or archaic look and not 20th century retro (the Atomic Age, Sixties mod or Pop Art or any more recent styles are too modern).
True antique items are supposed to be 100 years old or more. But, don't worry about the exact eras, I'm not traveling through time and checking for historical accuracy.
Here's a tutorial for making images look like photos from the 1800s with free large textures at SpoonGraphics.
Please use the supplied screen caps from the posts at
capspiration listed below.
