Just out of school I spent a few years working for local newspapers. I always found it interesting to dig around those nicotine stained production department filing cabinets (considering most local publications, that have survived, have been around since the days of the smoked filled news room.) Nine times out of ten you came across a version of Photoshop 2.0 on several floppy installation disks, or the occasional syquest drive containing 2 ads for some disreputable used auto dealer, but every once and awhile you would come across a paste-up gem. I would like to share with you one of my favorites. If memory serves, I came across this collection of “Ready to Use Popular Music Illustrations”, when I was on third shift at The News Sun and the pressmen had all left to start their 6am drinking binge. I have all 32 pages as high-res jpgs available for download below. I can convert some of them into vector if requested. Enjoy!
