Flower Power

Last week I gave a lecture about one of my favorite design periods,
the colorful era of the late '60s-early '70s, when hippie and psychedelic 
inspiration blossomed everywhere, from children's books and ads to fashion 
and decor. This is a period that I can really relate to, quite obviously since 
I was a child at the time, and that continues to inspire me to this day...
