Before Photoshop

Before there was Photoshop, these photos shows the mark ups by the editor/art director of the time and the process of simply painting on them, in preparation for their use. Taken from an exhibition, "Martin Parr's Painted Photographs" on in Liverpool, the photos capture a moment in design history, before the dominance of digitally produced imagery. Exhibition is on from 13 Jan — 18 Mar 2012 in Liverpool. Click here for more details.
