In a recent publication, an author for Rock Paper Shotgun offered a humorous, self-aware look into the visual elements accompanying their regular content. The writer playfully questioned the sustainability of their current art direction, which frequently relies on older, publicly available illustrations.
The piece speculates on what might happen when the supply of these “crusty old” public domain images eventually diminishes. The author lightheartedly suggests that future visual standards might shift, potentially allowing for the inclusion of personal photographs, or perhaps even exploring more niche artistic methods such as woodblock printing for their articles.
This playful internal monologue offers a brief, amusing glimpse into the creative considerations behind presenting ongoing editorial content, highlighting the whimsical thought processes involved in maintaining a distinct style for their publications. This report is based on reporting by Rock Paper Shotgun.
