NEWCASTLE 'BACK IN THE DAY'

Part of the OLD NEWCASTLE SERIES, Newcastle 'As it Once Was' contains many landmarks from the city's past. This work includes landmarks from the '70s, '80s, and '90s Newcastle, exploring Newcastle's colourful past life during its 'golden era'.
This design has a textured element derived from the poster printing techniques used in the 70's era.
This work has an option for a retro poster texture overlay, immersing the viewer in the punchy poster-filled era of the late 1900's.
