April Greiman, poster for UCLA Summer Sessions, 1991. Offset lithography

Not my favorite part of 90's graphic design, but make no mistake, this was radical in '91. Somewhere between analog and digital, at a time when digital was far from easy.

Art and code since 1994. https://linktr.ee/mariuswatz

It's so cool! It was always interesting to look through an old magazine or see a poster, special tactile feelings

I like this one, it's so bitmap👾🖤

Very true. Bitmap served two functions - it felt futuristic and helped with the problem of resolution.

In 1994 we would create posters in ~150 DPI and upsample for printing, the equipment couldn't handle 300 DPI. You had one undo, along with a whole series of saved iterations in case you needed to revert. 🤣

A computer can be a serious tool or a toy, all depending on what you use it for. My 11yo has a PC with a better GPU than the one I use for rendering, which is probably a bit of a waste. 😅 

Still waiting for him to have the eureka moment where he realizes it can be used to realize his creative dreams. 🦄

😍 🤣 

we are most flexible when our ability to solve something is limited and the process becomes really interesting, complicated, and protracted... Damn it, I remember those computers in elementary school that I thought of as a toy, but for you it was serious software :)))
