Vintage Porsche Posters
These vintage Porsche posters are good examples of old-fashion graphic design – great images mixed with classic typography. What’s special about these posters is that they’re not really ads to sell the consumers cars, but to remind race fans of how great the Porsche name is when it comes to actually racing. Such long endurance events featured on the posters are the Can-Am in Atlanta, the Targa Florio in Sicily, and the Renn Termine. Check out all the posters after the jump.

Sean Tubridy Polaroids
Sean Tubridy’s Polaroids are a fascinating collection of toys, cameras, cars, and other types of fun randomness. While the Polaroid is somewhat an archaic form of photography, Sean is still able to capture something really fun and amusing out of many everyday things. Some would even have to use Photoshop to get the mood of some of the images he captures. Sean on the other hand just uses a bit of imagination and his trusty Polaroid SX-70 to get it done.
