Holy cow those posters are to die for.

If you speak Swedish though, they make you wince, not trying to be rude.

ström means power, but in the sense of electricity - basically current

“Endast” should be replaced with “bara” and “kroners” should be “kronor”

Kreunz · 17 February 2017 21:57

You mean in a good way or a bad way?

Oh damn. i just used the first word I could rember for power

Whats the diffrence between endast and bara?

DeusExMackia · 17 February 2017 21:58

I mean that in a very good way. They look so authentic! Font, colours, layout, the lot

TheRoadrunner · 17 February 2017 22:01

‘‘Endast’’ is a fancier / older word for ‘‘bara’’.

‘‘Snab’’ should be ‘‘Snabb’’.

Edit: Assuming you mean the Swedish word for ‘‘Fast’’

Kreunz · 17 February 2017 22:09

Thanks! I try really hard to make them look realistic for that slight extra touch for my works

Okay. From “snabb” I deliberately wrote it with one B for styling reasons.

ramthecowy · 17 February 2017 22:28

thing is, it’s really not that often you head down to the shops and see something labeled “ENDAST 50 KRONOR!” do you?

@TheRoadrunner no, I realize that in that context it works, I’m talking about today.

TheRoadrunner · 17 February 2017 22:30

@ramthecowy No store today would really use any ‘‘Bara … kronor!’’, etc.
It’s usually just ‘‘Buy 2 for the price of 1!’’.

FrankNSTein · 17 February 2017 22:52

It’s a 1950s car though

Theres a difference between that kind of old and that kind of old, as I understand it But I think you got the point already.
