This is what Netflix, Spotify and Co. would have looked like in the past

In her photo series “Once Appon a Time”, the Argentinian graphic designer Luli Kibudi portrays popular apps and presents them in their retro format. In our weekly ranking, we show you the ten best graphics and what Netflix, Spotify and Co. would have looked like in the past.

Social media, streaming services and news apps are considered an integral part of our everyday lives. But what we use digitally today was already available in analogue form a few years ago.

However, it was a long time ago that we put video cassettes in the recorder or used a tube television. However, the memory of that time evokes a certain retro nostalgia.

Tech meets retro: This is how Netflix, Spotify and Co. would have gone out earlier

The Argentinian graphic designer Luli Kibudi apparently felt the same way. In her project “Once Appon a Time“ she combines media and technology from the past with the programs, streaming platforms and communication channels that we use every day today.

Technology in retro format

For example, instead of using WhatsApp, we used to call our contacts. Instead of calling up information on Wikipedia, we would have looked it up in a book.

Kibudi meanwhile published her designs on Adobe’s social media platform Behance. In our weekly ranking, we present the artist’s ten best graphics.
