Vintage travel posters have seen a bit of a revival lately, with artists using the style of classic postcards as inspiration to create their own digital illustrations for famous locations. They combine early 20th century typography with simplified artwork, often in the style of retrofuturism, which is especially true for those that feature scenes of outer space. My favourites are the posters that use fantasy destinations from movies, or imaginary depictions of life elsewhere in our galaxy to make exciting tourist destinations out of the most unusual places.
