We simply made this project to celebrate the y2k aesthetic.

A complex aesthetic from the late-90s/early-2000s blending retro-futurism and early internet optimism which features chrome, neon colors, water form, bold rounded fonts, and glossy tech-inspired graphics. Influenced by early consumer tech, pop culture and cyberculture, this aesthetic is playful, futuristic and nostalgic, all at once.
