What comes to your mind when you think of the 1980s?

Do you imagine big, elaborate hairstyles or oversized shoulder pads? Do you hear upbeat music? Or perhaps, you think of color. If so, you might be onto something.

From multicolor and technicolor, to no color at all, there is no other decade in which color was more counted upon as it did in the excessive and eccentric 1980s.

Design is not an isolated manifestation of creativity but rather a response to what is happening around us. So, in order to understand the palette of the eighties, we must first remember the decade itself.

Freedom

Inner freedom steers us forward showing us the way. As we slowly let our guards down, remove our masks, and set ourselves free from everyone else’s expectations, we start stepping into our authentic selves. This strengthens our core and enables us to withstand the winds, the wild oceans, and the rollercoasters of life. Stepping into your true nature and acting from that place will release so much energy giving you new wings. Ready to take the next step inwards to fly higher up?

Letting go of the end result in your vision will open more doors for you. They might take you to places you've never even imagined before. 

I am not propagating "bumming around and seeing where you'll end up", mind you. I'm simply inviting you to always keep an open mind, enjoy the process, and always strive to do your best. The rest will fall into their places when the time is right. 🙌

Letting go of the past in the way that you "delete it" and it never comes back is not really possible. What we can do, however, is transform the past by bringing it into the new light, softening in, and integrating it into the "new you" that's starting to shape up.
