Okay, so, I gotta tell you about this little project I worked on. The title? “Super Models of the 80s.” Sounds glamorous, right? Well, it was a bit of a trip down memory lane, let me tell you.

First off, I started by digging up anything I could find about those iconic ’80s models. You know, the ones that were all over the magazines and, if you were lucky enough to have cable, MTV. It wasn’t just about finding names. I needed photos, stories, the whole shebang. I was all over the internet, going through old articles, interviews, and let me tell you, the hair in those photos was a sight to behold.
Then came the fun part – putting it all together. I wanted to capture that ’80s vibe, so I went with this kind of flashy, bold layout, kind of like those old music videos. Big fonts, bright colors, the whole nine yards. I even found some old ads from back then and scattered them throughout, just to give it that extra touch of nostalgia.
- Gathered the material: I spent hours, days even, just scrolling through pages and pages of content about these models. It wasn’t just about the big names like Iman or Linda Evangelista. I wanted to showcase the lesser-known ones too. I watched a lot of “Simply Irresistible” music video.
- Created the design: This was the best part, to be honest. It was an “anything goes” attitude. I played around with different layouts, trying to find that perfect balance between informative and eye-catching. I mean, “big shoulders” were a huge thing back then, so I made sure the design reflected that era of excess.
- Wrote the content: Of course, it wasn’t just about the looks. I wrote about each model, their stories, how they got discovered, and what made them so special. Did you know Iman was discovered in Nairobi by a photographer in 1975? Crazy, right?
Here’s what I did:
Finally, I put it all together and stepped back to admire my work. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine. It felt like I had captured a little piece of the ’80s, a time when these supermodels were like royalty. The whole project was a blast, and it reminded me why I love doing this kind of stuff. It’s like being a digital archaeologist, digging up the past and bringing it back to life.
And that, my friends, is the story of my “Super Models of the 80s” project. Hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did!
