There, I\u2019ve come out. Kitsch is usually the antithesis of what we strive for in graphic design. Graphic designers are looking for cool, right? Hip ideas, sharp new looks\u2026<\/p><p>But look, there is often something bright and innocent in kitsch that feels like a balm in our harsh economic climate. It is sweet nostalgia that harkens to a simpler time. Light-hearted and welcoming. Cool visuals are alluring because they portray products that we are programmed to lust after but can\u2019t afford \u2013 the playthings of the rich. Homey (or homely!) designs have no such pretensions.<\/p><p>The thing is, today\u2019s cool is tomorrow\u2019s kitsch. In five (or ten, or twenty) years\u2019 time, we will giggle at today\u2019s slick and fashionable images, and retro styles move to forefront almost like clockwork. The dowdy and the dandy go around and around. So while the wheels of visual coolness turn, why not just go with what really fits\u2026 and why not have a little fun?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrating our kitsch side<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","disable_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"taxon-du-petit-parc":[20],"class_list":["post-303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-design","taxon-du-petit-parc-tribune"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":471,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303\/revisions\/471"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303"},{"taxonomy":"taxon-du-petit-parc","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lepetitparc.ca\/stephanie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxon-du-petit-parc?post=303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
