80 style ?!? Help

Gah, I need to know the 80style, someone asked me to make a signature for them (another forum) and said 'Make it 80style' a-team .. Im lost... I tried to look for help on '80's style' help themes, etc, and like overwhelemed.. and everything looked the same, and endless help / no help at all....

( Ive never seen a-team, and they dont offer it.. so I dont know...) anyone got suggestions.. /help on 80s theme? ... Color types?.. examples?. im so lost...

as I only know.. Grunge.. and Anime style ..... I have no idea wat 80's style looks like..

That's a tricky one, your looking for style in an era when there was none

Oh, so wrong! The 80's was way OVER styled, and I loved every minute of it.


Foxy: If you want to get a feel for 80's, TV is probably a good place to start. You can find most of the title screens for these shows on the web. Here's a short list of 80's shows you might want to look up:

The Cosby Show, Cheers, The Facts of Life, Night Court, The A-Team, Knight Rider, Magnum PI, The Dukes of Hazzard...I'm sure there are tons more. TV graphics weren't very sophistacted back then.

Actually, knowing anime will help you. In the 80's everything was VERY colorful. You might look up the Van Halen videos for Panama, or Hot for Teacher. Also Def Leppard's Photograph, MJ's Thriller, Wham, Duran Duran, etc.

This looked like some good research.

I'm not sure boi was an 80s word...

lol, w/e

I dont think creating an 80's style would be so difficult. Just watch pulp fictions moveis screens etc.

The only problem with style is that, youve gotta use the right font, or the design will fail. Getting appropriate 80's fonts may be a little hard (ones that look like there from the 80's)

you want some stereo type 80s style look into GTA Vice City . . . its a big miami in the 80s stereotype from the pink neon letters to the tacky white sheos and bad atari comercails on the radio. Also try watching ScarFace thats what the 80s were like here im miami. You can also watch Shot Circuit and the first Crocidile Dundee for 80s in New York =) ill think about it summore and post more stuff later =)
