the design of nostalgia

In this video essay I'm discussing nostalgia, nostalgiamaxxing, and how in graphic design and marketing nostalgia wins. I love talking about design and typography trends that have come and gone throughout the years, and how they make us feel. I chat about type from the 80s, Apple and New Balance advertisements, millennial brands like Glossier and Chobani, and rebrands that have failed, or at least started a conversation, like Instagram's new logo design. Nostalgia is making a comeback in our reaction to AI design work, and we want to go analog and do things by hand. I'm so inspired by some brands doing cool things like Vacation Inc! I also touch on celebrity campaigns and how Louis Vuitton and Murakami made something magical. I truly love these art and design history conversations and how they can inspire us and our work! xx
