It was a decade not known for its subtlety , and maybe that’s why the over-the-top aesthetic of the 80s is a favorite among artists and designers. The neon lights, the tropical color palettes, the geometric patterns, and the other hallmarks of the decade somehow manage to feel fresh and modern no matter how many years go by. These 1980s fonts capture the best of the era: inspired, vibrant, energetic designs that manage to be retro, modern, and futuristic all at the same time.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

It is true for our jobs as well: Between signing the contract and handing in a resignation, there is a window in time wherein the organisation molds us. Whatever the reason, all jobs end at some point. Some endings grow faster than a millennial beard and others only arrive after multiple shapes of a body.
