WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Make Retro

Bring a little taste of the past into the present

7 March 2011 1:00 GMT / By Ian Hughes

It would seem that old is the new new. Which is really, really annoying for somebody like me, who is of a certain age. One by one all the things I resigned to the nearest charity shop or rubbish tip a few years ago, is coming back to become the latest, greatest trendy must-have.

My original Atari console? Given away. My Raleigh Chopper? Ditto. My first ever mobile phone? Yep, probably somewhere on a table in a trendy bar in Soho, Hoxton or Paris by now.

Like I said: annoying. So sites like www.makeretro.com which bring a little bit of the past back, but without stirring all those "I want to kick myself" emotions is actually quite welcome.

Adding retro effects to your photos is nothing particularly new, but most of the time you have to take the pictures with an add-on app, or you have to really know your way round Photoshop.

Not any more...
