While I don't agree with the original poster, I see his point re vintage style aesthetic.
There is a hell of a lot of work I've seen on the web recently 'in the style of' vintage posters. I'm talking specifically of Saul Bass style or the old Penguin books covers.
While this is harmless and some may say cute, it does not move on design anywhere, or help define an aesthetic for today.
Pastiching older design is pretty lazy unless there is a real reason. In the 20s and 30s when those travel posters were made, the artists and designers helped shape the look and feel of that time.
I'd rather young designers pushed things forward in general rather than harking back.
A good idea will shine through as long as the aesthetic doesn't get in the way too much- <--- this is how to make a legitimate case for the OP's intent.DRIFTMONKEY
