"That era defies description; no book can ever capture its essence." So true. As someone who was just starting their design career in the late 90s and early 00s – and a frequent lurker on the tDR design forum for inspiration – I'm still so grateful for this vibrant period of time in design history. Diving into this article – and an abundance of nostalgia, no doubt – right now. Thank you!
Wow, look at the fading fluorescent orange, that’s crazy. I never know how to feel about fading color — the collector in me hates it because it’s deteriorating. But the pragmatist in me loves it because I know how much use I’ve had from the book, and it shows. Never can reconcile the two.
