Rusty Textures of Time A close-up of an aged, textured surface showcases the beauty of decay. Muted blues, rusty browns, and greens blend harmoniously, revealing layers of history and weathered charm.

hard to explain my preferred technological aesthetic but its like...

elements of 90s visual design in gaming machines and electronics in general, with a focus on somewhat user-unfriendly interaces, very tough casings. everytihng being big and bulky but also somewhat brightly colored, heavy use of cartridges in most things. buttons are on/off switches that make a satisfying CLACK noise when you move them

emphasis on wires; no wireless, or they're rare. antennae, landlines and so on; button interfaces for phones might be rotary. In general, big bit for user interfaces to be clicky, make noises and not be discreet at all

some visual themes similar to this:

the style draws a lot of influence from Casette Futurism in a lot of ways, but its not QUITE that; some elements of it are a bit too less advanced than what I'm thinking of; not colorful enough, not quite late 90s/early 2000s at the point where the eras blur into each other

technological visuals that are big and clanky; if there's cybernetics, they are always bulky, even ugly and weird looking

i THINK there's a specific aesthetic for this but i have no idea what it is, if anyone can identify it please let me know!

The Aesthetic Compass

Hey guys! This right here is my idea for a tool similar to the political compass but for aesthetics. As you can see, the vertical axis measures aesthetics from traditional to modern, and the horizontal axis measures aesthetics from serious to playful. The compass is divided into four quadrants: - Traditional-serious (Stately): e.g.: Academia - Traditional-playful (Whimsical): e.g.: Cottagecore - Modern-serious (Contemporary): e.g.: Minimalism - Modern-playful (Funky): e.g.: Memphis I hope you liked my idea! Don't forget to like and follow me!

WOII | Week 2 - Aesthetics

The key idea we focused on in this session was aesthetics - how form and function work together to create the aesthetics of an object and shape how we feel about it. Form refers to how something is structured, while function is what it does. Rather than being separate, these two aspects combine to define an object’s presence and impact.

Because of this, aesthetics is also a form of communication, influencing our interpretation and emotional response. The way something looks and works affects how we perceive and engage with it, whether consciously or subconsciously.

We had an in-class activity where we were divided into groups and sent to Sim Lim Square to capture images of four store signages that piqued our interest. We then discussed what kind of person we could translate the signage into. I worked on a sign named “HAPPIBOX.” The brand name used a simple, rounded font on a vibrant yellow background, evoking a fun, approachable, and friendly personality.

In analysing the form and structure of the sign, I created a moodboard to visually translate this idea. The bright yellow and soft curves of the font helped communicate a cheerful, happy-go-lucky vibe. I imagined this brand as a very positive, indie type of person - someone who is laid-back, optimistic, and effortlessly cool. This ties back to the idea that the aesthetics of an object, or even a person, can communicate a type of personality and emotional response.

This makes me reflect on my own design training: the importance of considering not just visual appeal, but the purpose it serves for viewers. Aesthetic choices should never be just decorative; they shape meaning and function.
