I was working late at the office last night when I got a message from my friend DJ Ayres. I've worked on a considerable number of graphic design projects for Ayres over the last few years, more than I can count on both hands, and he keeps up with my other design work just as I do with his music projects. He sent me a link to the Facebook page of a young DJ named Nate Starr living in Springfield MO. This DJ's profile picture was an exact replica of the ""Jump On It"" EP cover I designed for Minneapolis DJ and producer Last Word. My original design for DJ Last Word The Nate Starr graphic in question Nate essentially saved the EP artwork to his computer, opened up the file in Photoshop, erased Last Word's name and album title, replaced them with his own, and hit SAVE.

I grew up with pro wrestling and still love the 1980s era right before it turned into a freak show. Looking back on the '70s - '80s glory days, there was some pretty sharp graphic design going on. Let's have a look. The American Wrestling Association was based in Minneapolis MN, founded by wrestling legend Verne Gagne.
