In the future, will the newspaper be around? The touch of the paper, the black and white ink, it all screams nostalgia. With more and more becoming digital (surprise, surprise), a group of artists and illustrators decided to use the newspaper PAPER as their medium, and create some amazing and whimsical illustration to purchase at a low cost.
What I like about these, is that they play on the newspaper medium, something that typically holds serious information, and contort it to let the medium speak to them, and become their canvas.
The designs themselves are fictional—they don’t try to portray realism, more of surrealism. A lot of the designs’ aesthetic and color palette hark back to the trends of the 70s, a lot of bright and milky tones of greens, blues, and browns.
I wonder when newspapers will run out of circulation….when they do, I’d love to keep one of these around to hang.
