Credits:
Photograph: Germaine Krull, Untitled, ca. 1922-24
Holographic texture and sticker from Design Cuts bundles
Fonts used: Free Fat Font (uncomfortably stretched), and Misprinted Type's Downcome and Diesel

Notes:
I wanted something sexy but awful for this, and I started with a search for "erotic photograph 1922". The rest of it stacked up from there, although I started by chopping the letters through a more antiqued texture. Once I remembered this one, though, I immediately succumbed to the lure of the shiny. Eduardo Recife's Misprinted Type fonts are period pieces themselves now, I think; I'm pretty sure I first saw them in the late 90s. I'm still weirdly fond of them.
