With the aforementioned rise of digital design, there was quite a bit of experimentation with surreal objects, environments, & collages.

One issue in 1993 covered the interiors of various graphic designers' offices; my favorite being this very vibrant Memphis-inspired look for Vaughn Wedeen Creative in Albuquerque, NM.

This style of 'wood carved' sign used to be such a staple of the design landscape in the 70s-80s

Fascinated with trends from prior eras that just seem to vanish, but still exist in the recesses of our collective consciousness. Finding this kind of stuff is such a bizarre treat.

CARI insight: We've been really interested in investigating the corporate co-opting of hippie & psychedelia aesthetics in late 1960s and 1970s. I find it especially fascinating since it's been resurrected multiple times in different forms (90s & late 2010s)

The fourth image, 'Fiberz', is not one of my scans, but wow that is a perfect example of the ubiquitous 'Rad Dog' cool surfy tribal neon aesthetic

Thought these were pretty neat, 'Academic U.N.I.O.N' pencils and markers packaging by Scripto; with illustrations by Bill Mayer (he also did pretty much all the covers for the Rippingtons)

Also worth a look for the wild airbrush car & truck designs

@Beetlenaut Oh wait I have more pics of that place, from 'Entertainment Destinations' by Martin Pegler (2000)

Just a quick aside, this fascinating time capsule of when panic about acid rain was the hot news topic. Resulted in items like this, the 'Acid Rain Duane' card from a line called 'Toxic Waste Zombies' (1991)

Scanned from the book 'Airbrush Action 2'

Another style popular at the time was a revival of 1950s popular culture & kitsch: chromed-out cars, diners, drive-ins, neon; usually recontextualized or repurposed, like these pieces from Missouri artist Jim Greene.
