Some creations are made to be on the cutting edge, completely new and completely different. Some are made to remind you of your childhood. These old school designs are definitely in the latter category and take you back in time in a fun way.
From old school graphic videos to LEGO tributes, these are all old school designs that will take you back to kick it old school for sure.
Implications - Youth consumers have an insatiable desire for design and products from a recent past. In part, this stems for the comfort and familiarity of products that are now antiquated. Companies should leverage the power of nostalgia to motivate this group of consumers to engage with the brand.
