I just looked over it quickly in Illustrator and it looks like some of the scanned text was converted to bitmap in Photoshop to sharpen it up. The background was obviously dropped in and that was noticeable at first glance.

Yeah, they should have scanned it and left it untouched. Somebody just got their new CS5 and wanted to show off.
