Celebration Of Vintage and Retro Design - Smashing Magazine

Advertisement Retro and vintage designs are often considered as being outdated, looking old, unattractive and dull. That’s not true. Although compared to modern design, retro is mostly a completely different realm, it has a large variety of benefits modern graphic designers often tend to overlook. And that’s a pity. Nostalgic designs arise feelings, awake memories and better manage to involve broad range of readers even although they don’t really realize it. Below you’ll find the celebration of retro and vintage design — ads, illustrations, book covers, pins and posters from 1920-1980s. Please notice: if after reading this post you’ll experience some need for buying ice cream, chewing gum or eating sausages, it’s not our fault. Retro Cosmic Retro Cosmic1Designs by James White.

Geek upcycling: When stuff becomes things Between Steampunk inventions, games emulating old-school pixel art and retrofitting electronics into antique shells, some artists, product designers and stalwart retro-heads have become obsessed with nostalgic art forms and archaic products. Merge this with upcycling, the art of transforming old junk into trendy new products, and you have a selection of craft projects that show off your favourite obsolete tech and broken gadgets as fashionable jewellery, stylish clocks and other conversation pieces. The suitably named Flickr user "stuff made from stuff", has made an entire gallery from sticking clock hands onto all manner of circular gizmos. His chronometric designs include a hard drive (above), a CD drive, bike cogs and cranks, chopped up motherboards and record turntables. Check out our gallery for the full spread.
