Why do people use this '70-'80s style these days?
Designed by https://www.instagram.com/gustav…
Should I start making logotypes using cuneiform writing just to be sure nobody goes beyond in history and restarts a trend?
- I k a few student level junior designers around here copying this style all of a sudden and getting thousands followers on instagram, weird afgrafician
- Then asking for jobs..."no bro, sorry, not with that crap in your folio"grafician
- < these are for Lorde's latest album. Art direction by Hassan Rahim even, but could also be David Rudnick or whoever kid does this style these days...grafician
- there's zero differentiation for designers using this style/aesthetics.grafician
- because all references are valid and interchangeable, outwith temporal constraints. everything is now.Nairn
- Maybe, but that doesn't make any sense these days. We're living in the future, why do we keep going back to the past for inspiration?grafician
- It's like cheating "bro, let's use references from 2-3 decades ago, kids these days will think it's cool, they weren't even born then, they have no clue"
Why?grafician - I get that art direction is hard these days, but damn, you can't really use the same stuff from Nike to Justin Bieber then Lorde then whoever else calls nextgrafician
- Anyway, not hating or anything, just finding it a bit oddgrafician
- Everything that is old is new again.utopian
- Alternative conclusion: graphic design is dead?grafician
- Half the white teens in Brooklyn have a Nirvana shirtnb
- Cobain died in '94, many teen's parents today were in high school back then, if that...
Guess wait 'till they discover flat design again?grafician - fuck we're old
but on another note, we all here did experience before/after the Net so we're very fortunate in a waygrafician - y'all are snobsdoesnotexist
