Nostalgic Whispers
✷ poster design
✷ interactive design
The catalyst for my exploration into collecting was a childhood memory: a toy knife slicing a tomato in half. These moments prompted my fascination with the significance of childhood playdates as a gateway to understanding the world, driving my desire for further exploration.
This exploration culminated in the creation of two distinctive posters. The first poster adopts a whimsical approach, presenting my collection into a playful dining experience that echoes the spirit of childhood 'playing house.’ The second poster delicately alludes to my collection through the silhouettes of kitchen items, preserving a nostalgic tribute to my past, specifically to the cherished memories of my childhood kitchen. It evokes a wistful sense of nostalgia and offers a window into an era long gone.

In the project's final phase, my goal was to highlight the essence of childhood nostalgia within my collection. I transformed it into a children's book, aiming to capture the interactive charm found in these tactile reads. Using magnets, I endeavored to revive the hands-on experience that children often enjoy in such books. This effort signifies both the conclusion and the embodiment of my nostalgic journey into childhood memories and their artistic rendition.
Thank you for joining me on this quest to rediscover those treasured moments from childhood.
