Some thoughts on design direction for Of Life and Pixels...
I've been thinking about adding some 80s/90s flair to Of Life and Pixels. It's funny how the styles you grew up with seem kinda - ew - for most of your life until you hit your 30s and then the nostalgia hits hard. Haha.
The designs will probably be subtle, like maybe some old school / analog doodles and geometric shapes here and there. Right now, my color palette is more pastel, but I'm thinking of changing up the tones a bit and maybe I can work some neon in for some vibrant flair.
I'm also considering making some 80s/90s CC for our Sims. It's all still in the planning stages, but I think it will be fun to bring some old styles, designs, and characters into the modern age in my own little way.
Some of my retro inspiration will come from Lisa Frank (I lived in a Lisa Frank world), Josie and the Pussycats, Jem and the Holograms, My Little Pony, Barbie and things like neon colors, scrunchies, animal print, records, mix tapes, rollerskates, etc.

Here's an avatar I designed
that has a bit of the
80s aesthetic that I'm going for.
