26 Nov Reeeeewind Selecta!!!! – Cassette Art

Still on that cassette theme, here’s a more literal interpretation of cassette art. Nothing clever about this, no double takes, just a lot of charm and some ambitious typography in Steve Vistaunet’s collection of mixtapes. We’re suckers for hand-drawn and his early desktop-publishing examples just don’t have the soul of the crudely felt-tipped offerings – there’s something about the limited space that seems to encourage exuberance and larger than life design.

Anyone of a certain age remember making a brightly coloured compilation for a ‘girl/boy’.  Who’s made a heartbreak tape?
