Problem: Creating a coffee table book rooted in a personal passion requires translating an era’s energy into a cohesive visual system across the cover, spreads, website, and original imagery. Capturing the spirit of ‘80s New Wave means balancing nostalgia with a design voice that feels fresh and intentional rather than purely retro. Solution: Bright, bold typography and a charged color palette channel the restless energy of New Wave music. Imagery and type function as expressive tools, reflecting the movement’s rejection of convention and embrace of experimentation. Each spread captures a distinct moment, translating sound into a visual rhythm that feels immersive and alive.
