Archives.design

Written By Guest User



In addition to having a portfolio at Marier.design, graphic designer Valery Marier has created Archives.design to make design-related content from the Internet Archives more visible and accessible.

The site has an intuitive bookshelf design that gives you the feeling of being in a vintage bookstore browsing the dog-eared selections among the Design section. There are headers to view specific categories of publications such as books, annuals, ephemera, posters, and more.

Archive.design is a great place to look for retro-futuristic inspiration, historical context about design, or just general browsing. Among our favorite finds: interactive, in-browser demos of MacPaint (1984) and Windows 95.

This site was recognized with an honorable mention in the 2021 RGD Student Awards!
