This image features a striking retro black and white background characterized by bold, radiating stripes that create a sense of depth and movement. The interplay of light and shadow, coupled with a textured, grungy finish, enhances the vintage aesthetic. The central area is slightly lighter, drawing the eye inward, while the surrounding stripes fade into darker tones, providing a dramatic contrast.
