Retro-futurism art is a kind of pop-art which blend the old-fashioned style and futuristic technologies. This style had been produced and started it's development since 1960s. It began to took its form during the emerging of technology in 1970s. It's sound like a contradiction for merging new and old elements together. However, it will be a good way to create a huge contrast and awareness. Thus, this art style is broadly applied on the advertisement and poster.

The way to exhibits the retro-futurism art is to applied the old pictures with modern art style or effects or vise-versa. By merging the new and old stuff together, it gives people a kind of mysterious nostalgic feel that is hard to explain when look at it. It's like a catalyst on people's curiosity. Perhaps it deal with something feels like time-travel. In my opinion, a good piece of retro-futurism art needs to be have a good composition and elements to unleash its powerful message because I have no idea how the second picture can be connected with the title of 'looking good'. It's that putting a rainbow color planet to replace head really looks good?
