The LightSpeed Design System
I know what you’re thinking.
“Whoa, that is some rough Photoshop work.”
This piece of advertising ephemera was created using the LightSpeed Design System. Take a closer look. (Look past my mullett and Buggles tortise-shell glasses.) Obviously Photoshopped, right? Negatory. This was a couple of years before the Knoll brothers created Barney Scan XP.
Hell, this was before nearly any design studio had a computer! Well to be honest there were computers out there: The Amiga, The Commodore 64, The AppleIIc. But those contained spreadsheets, text based or 16bit games, a calculator and a clock. Design and production for 4-color process output? Nope.
