It was photographed by a color separation camera, where colors were divided into CMYK layers,  and then mastered to print Cromalins and then proof cards for the POTF Warok release, before being sent to printing vendors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe art appeared on Kenner's POTF blister card, and then also on the European Tri-Logo 70 backs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenner's Star Wars packaging art was illustrated and painted by hand using the photoart process, which was the industry standard prior to the arrival of digitization. It offers a view into old world design, and was assembled and re-touched by hand long be prior to the Graphic Design world moved across to Photoshop, Indesign and other digital editing software. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork features a template to illustrate the position of the art used on blister cards, the original crop marks, percentage ratio, and character name. It shows significant air brush retouching across most of the image. Hand crated pieces such as this are scarce in number, primarily because all are one of a kind items, and not every character from Kenner's 93 action figure line escaped the dumpster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e99 percent of all surviving packaging artwork examples trace back to a single find from former Kenner Marketing Executive Tom Neiheisel. He was fortunate to rescue the majority of vintage Star Wars character packaging artwork from the trash when Kenner 'cleaned house' in the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectible Investment Brokerage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45737028157623,"sku":null,"price":55000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/4822\/1251\/files\/IMG_8962.jpg?v=1768422357","url":"https:\/\/collectinvest.com\/products\/star-wars-1981-kenner-vintage-2-1b-packaging-original-artwork-copy","provider":"Collectible Investment Brokerage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
