Venture Onward: The Design and Curiosities of 1924us - Christian Watson

The beauty of nostalgia: 1924US aka Christian Watson revives modern brands with analog craftsmanship. Venture Onward takes us into the world of Watson's creative studio, 1924US. Favoring historical devices and revisiting old styles, the graphic designer, photographer, and illustrator applies his vision to anything from brand and retail design to tattooing and typography.

The book is an inspiration to slow down and enjoy that which lasts a lifetime.     About the Author 1924US is a branding company whose work brings the past into the present, preserving and resurrecting the handmade, heritage style of the 1900s.
