Is it any wonder, in the times we are currently living through, that there is a growing need for pre-internet nostalgia? 'The '80s Are Back!' is a stunning (and completely analogue) new book from the good folks at Sendpoints (who bring us BranD Magazine), which collects together the work of contemporary designers and studios whose work both reflects the desire for retro design styles and also captures the vibrancy of the 1980s..
Inside you'll find a 300+ pages of works that display '80s design genres, such as Retro-Futurism, Pixel Art, Deco art, New Ugly, Shǒwa stlye, and '80s Chat Room themed artwork. there are also preliminary chapters which look at the influential art movements which shaped '80s graphic design and writing which touches upon just why we want to look back.
Being a Sendpoints publication, this is also a monster in terms of production - so you'll get a debossed and foiled cover, foiled belly band, fold-out inserts, and even cut out games pieces to use on a board game inside - insane.
Size: 230 x 300mm (board covers, debossed, foiled with belly band)
