It’s A Retro Explosion!
Ok that was a cheesy and excessive title but it fits the site I’m about to tell you about very well, These are some just awesome backgrounds for your blog or whatever.

I really believe that the 50’s retro vibe lends itself really well to advertising and design in general so just from an inspiration standpoint these would help break a creativity block or a need for fresh ideas.
I’d post some samples but you’ll get a better feel by just visiting the site:

And Remember as much as some will say that it’s all about the sales copy, good sales copy with crappy graphics still looks unprofessional and how many sales are lost because of it?
A little cash spent on good design is money well spent. ( especially if it’s paying me… j/k)
