Before Photoshop: Beautiful Etch-a-Sketch Art

main

Designers didn't always use Photoshop.

Before the days of Photoshop and digital editing designers used good old fashion pen and paper to realize their designs. Then along came the 60s and the Etch-a-Sketch. A popular little toy that let you draw on the screen using two knobs at the base of the machine. It was generally clumsy and difficult to get anything looking good on the Etch-a-Sketch. I remember having one and failing miserably at creating anything decent.

Here is a collection of 16 Etch-a-Sketch Masterpieces. Maybe they'll give you some inspiration on your upcoming projects:
