Gone are those days when dance floors were full of young people with funky hairstyles, heavy makeup, and neon nails.

Being a kid of the 90s, I’ve never had a chance to experience what the 80s charm was all about. Nevertheless, that decade has always fascinated me in many ways, from Michael Jackson’s whimsical moonwalk to Madonna’s bold looks. Today everything feels more reserved and dull.

A week ago I passed by a local nightclub and saw a poster advertising a party in the 1980s style. There’s no way I could miss such a chance to dive into that atmosphere. So, I got a mullet hairstyle, put on a cropped jersey and acid-washed jeans, and went to the club. I don’t want to be a boaster, but I looked as hot as Johnny Depp in his youth.

I don’t want to be boastful, but I looked as hot as Johnny Depp in his youth.

Unfortunately, neither my hot looks nor my energetic dance moves could save the party. It was a total flop. Besides pop hits of the 80s, there was nothing that would bring back the feeling of those years. If I had put on my headphones or suddenly become deaf, I wouldn’t have been able to distinguish that 1980s style party from any other. The people who organized it didn’t give a damn about following the 80s design trends, neither in terms of the club interior nor regarding the waiters’ dress code.

Are you planning an event or working on any other project related to the 1980s style? Let me share the best 80s graphics to decorate your settings with visual flashbacks to that decade. This roundup includes everything you may need, be it an 80s font for your text, a pattern to support your content on the background or a flyer to create an invitation to your event. Now, scroll down, choose a 1980s design item, and download!

Surf’s up in 2021 or a Big Retro Wave in Web Design

In web design, as in the fashion industry, there are trends and directions. Unquestionable, that there is also nothing eternal. All projects change and modify over time. You need to think about design not only when creating a new site, but also when you have already one. Because web design trends are regularly changing and improving. 2019 was rich in the implementation of various directions in the design of websites.

You should remember that the popularity of any website is based on a relevant and interesting design. Creative web design is like bait for a visitor. No wonder people say, that many judge books by its cover.

2021 - the year of contradictions in web design trends

• minimalism vs maximalism
• natural vs supernatural
• physical vs digital
• monochrome vs multicolor
• saturated vs pastel

Every design element needs your attention. You don't need to change the whole design of a website. You can start from a header or just a background. Let’s take for example design of logos. This is a very dynamic sphere, and every year it is replenished with a variety of trends that determine the style and features of the new logo.

The 99designs platform, which develops design projects together with a community of professional designers, believes that one of the important trends of 2021 is the 80s throwback logo designs, namely its combination of neon signs on a simple background. This allows you to cut off everything unnecessary and focus on the main visual message.

What 80s trends are actual in the 2021s web design?

Memphis style. Fancy patterns from scattered "peas", zigzags, wave lines and dotted lines against a contrasting background are another greeting from the 80s, or rather, from the fashion of ski suits of the time. Today, these catchy patterns come back and briskly fill the webspace.

Neon from the 80s and 90s. Acid colors and contrast - the corporate identity of the 80s. Such attention to this style is quite explainable by the fact that young designers are people whose childhood passed in the surroundings of these crazy shades. The vibrant and colorful 80s are back in fashion again.

Retrowave. This is a trend that appeared in the 80s but began to reappear when Hollywood began releasing films of that decade. With the success of the Stranger Things series, retrowave design began to gain popularity again. This style is popular in creating logos too.

Retro logos have a certain charm and a special emotional message. Use them if the specificity of the style suits your business - it will play into your hands. It will definitely inspire and teach you everything you need to create a great retro logo.
