Theo Youngers is a second-year Design | Media Arts major at UCLA with a focus on visual design, particularly typography and magazine print layouts. Drawing inspiration from the graphic design trends of the early 2000s, Theo's work explores how this style evokes nostalgia while also looking toward the future, capturing a sense of futuristic optimism. For the uclaFLUX Fall 2024 poster, this concept is expressed through future-oriented design elements, including digital recording device lines reminiscent of those on techno DJ turntables. These elements evoke the unconventional sounds of uclaFLUX's contemporary music, reflecting its experimental and dynamic nature. This work aims to predict the future of design by incorporating nostalgic and futuristic elements, understanding that design trends cycle and influence one another.
