Vintage Coca Cola Poster

Well .... not really, just a picture we took in the studio last night that I wanted to have a little bit of fun with, what do you think?

Ehh... :/ Ads in those times were still paintings.

I like it. Good work.

It's cute! But I don't think it looks aged enough, and I feel it's too sharp for the supposed time period. It doesn't have an authentic feel.

And not to sound like a dick, but the bottle is crooked. You'd never see that in a real ad. Also, try some sepia toning if you want to get more of an authentic feel. Personally, I'd good for a more period-correct hair style and dress on the model, if I were going for that retro ad look.

Haha true, I guess this could be a modern twist on it

I like it. Good work.

Thanks

True, I made it less sharp and added some noise but you are right, it's still too sharp to look old enough.

I see what you mean, but I think the bottle has to be titled towards the person in the ad, suggesting them about to drink it. If you look at Coca Cola ads, if someone is holding a bottle or glass they're usually tilting it towards them. Not that this was our intent there, these were just pics for fun I was doing to test out my lights before a photoshoot (hadn't used them in a couple of months) and that was just a random pic I thought I'd convert into a Coca Cola poster for fun.
I'll have to try the sepia thing I'm still working on that set. I also agree with the hair style, we need to find one that looks good on her that is from that era. As for the shirt she is wearing, it's from Bettie Page Clothing (https://www.bettiepageclothing.com/) which is a Pin Up style clothing store, it's made to look like from that era: http://www.bettiepageclothing.com/be...ilor-tank-navy.

I'll try better next time

I added a couple of variations, still not super happy with the look, I don't seem to be able to get it right.

If you're going for the "I'm about to drink this" look, it needs more of a tilt. That just looks crooked. And I guess the clothing would look more 'period' if the hair was done.

I think if you add a bit of texturing over it, it would complete the effect. Like creases or worn corners, etc.

Nothing crazy, just subtle. Like this chap's work http://www.makeshift.ca/

This gent has pretty good texture resources http://thespook.deviantart.com/galle...rces/textures/

Actually, I did add two layers of subtle textures If you look closely, the brown stains on the background is a texture I created from an old piece of paper that had brown stains on it. I also have a creased paper texture, you can see the biggest crease on the top right corner, and also below the bottle itself.
