I will be creating my Upcycle project to have the aesthetic of an antique wood postcard.

Guadalupe Mountains National Park Postcard [1]

This aesthetic uses vibrant colors, simple shapes, and figures to create complex scenes. This style uses a lot of colors to create a vibrant scene. These colors are muted to create a vintage look. This style is also common on antique travel posters.

I will be creating my Upcycle Project in this style because I find this aesthetic very cozy and “homie”. I enjoy how this aesthetics are able to bring a lot of colors into a space. This style makes me think of cozying up to a fire with a cup of hot chocolate.

I will be making a light switch cover out of cardboard for my Upcycle project, so I hope to create this aesthetic by painting different pieces of the cover with muted, beautiful oranges, blues, and purples. I enjoy how the small additions of colors to the room to bring an eclectic style into any space.
