Graphic designer Noah Camp has been an artist for almost ten years now. He is into 3D and typography, and since the beginning of his career, has done 3D lettering, illustration, and typography for advertising and editorial.
Also known as Noah Camp Design on social media, Camp has been doing a challenge called 36 Days of Type 2019 . It’s actually a project that invites designers, illustrators, and graphic artists to express their particular interpretation of the letters and numbers of the alphabet. He called his creation 90s TOYpography.
“Being an empath, and easily affected by the
darkness in the world, I create a better world,” Camp shares on Fubiz . “The chaos and gloom is
counteracted with surrealistic environments of vivid colors, bright shapes, and
controlled curves.”
Camp has shared his work on his Instagram account where he has gathered over 56.6 thousand followers. From Uno, Troll dolls, Furbies, and Nintendo, they all found their way to his 3D 90s Toy photography project.
Scroll down and take a look at his gallery below. Are you a 90s kid?

U is for Uno⠀ 90s TOYpography⠀ @36daysoftype⠀ ⠀ I love me some Uno. I especially love holding a grudge over anyone who uses skip or reverse card against me. ⠀ ⠀ After having an argument with his son about Crazy 8's, Merle Robbins, a barbershop owner and card lover, invented UNO in 1971 in Reading, Ohio. He introduced the game to his family, and after they started playing the game more and more he decided to have the game printed.⠀ ⠀ His family pooled together $8,000 to have 5,000 games made, which they produced on their dining room table. Merle sold UNO from his barbershop at first. A few friends and local businesses sold them too. After the game got really popular, Merle sold the rights to a funeral parlor owner in Joliet, Illinois for $50,000 plus royalties of 10 cents per game. International Games Inc. was formed to market UNO, and sales skyrocketed. In 1992, International Games became part of the Mattel family, and UNO had a new home.⠀ ⠀ #36days_u #uno #36daysoftype06 #36daysoftype #90stoypography #36days_Adobe #contest ⠀ ⠀ #3dtype #typography #lettering #3dillustration #cinema4d #36daysoftype_adobe #retrogaming #90s #retro #oldschool #90skid #1990s #nostalgia #childhoodgames #toys #toycollector #boardgames #cardgames #unogame #cards #blastfromthepast #rememberthis

S is for Super Soaker⠀ 90s TOYpography⠀ @36daysoftype⠀ ⠀ In 1982, a NASA engineer named Lonnie Johnson, had the idea of making a new type of heat pump that worked off water alone (instead of Freon gas, like the rest of them did). When he switched on the pump, water fired out, and he said to himself, "this would make a great water gun!" ⠀ ⠀ So Johnson made a prototype gun out of Plexiglas with room for an air pressure chamber and water reservoir inside. He tried and failed to work with two toy companies before he met with Larami Toys in 1989. Johnson wowed the company president by accurately shooting paper cups off a table from across the room, and Larami took it on. In 1990, the water gun was released under the name “Power Drencher" and sales were virtually non-existent. Then some genius in marketing called it the "Super Soaker" in 1991 and it sold 2 million in one year.⠀ ⠀ In 1996, Larami introduced the Constant Pressure System (CPS) line of Super Soakers, which included the CPS 2000 Mark 1 — perhaps the most powerful water gun ever made by a toy company. It was so powerful that there is an urban legend that someone’s eye popped out of the socket after they were hit in the face at close range. Larami quietly discontinued the Mark 1 with a weaker gun. Now the CPS 2000 Mark 1 sells for over $300 on Ebay. ⠀ ⠀ I loved my Super Soaker 50 so much, I just got rid of it a couple years ago. I was in love with that thing. My brothers and I didn't have water gun fights until the Super Soaker came out and changed the game completely. ⠀ ⠀ #36days_s #36daysoftype06 #36daysoftype #90stoypography #supersoaker #36days_Adobe #contest⠀ ⠀ #3dtype #typography #3dillustration #cinema4d #36daysoftype_adobe #retrostyle #90s #retro #oldschool #1990s #nostalgia #90svintage #nostalgia #childhoodtoys #90skid #90skids #toy #toys #toycollector #vintagetoys #blastfromthepast #rememberthis #nerf

L is for LiteBrite⠀ 90sTOYpography⠀ ⠀ Before there was pixel art, there was Lite-Brite. Invented all the way back in 1967, it has stuck around for a really long time. With plastic translucent pegs lit up by a lightbulb, you could create designs of your own or based on pre-patterned guides provided in the box. Besides the scary clown all over Lite-Brite ads, Hasbro included design guides of Scooby-Doo, Darth Vader, My Little Pony and even Mr. Potato Head.⠀ ⠀ Many versions of Lite-Brite have come out since. A giant one named Everbright is 42 times the size of a regular Lite-Brite, and has 464 LED lights that change colors when turned. There is also a phone app, and a version you can play online at http://notian.net/litebrite/ You’re welcome. ⠀ ⠀ As I was researching the history of Lite-Brite, my mind was blown. I didn’t know that you were supposed to use it with paper! I thought you followed the guides by looking at the design, and recreating it. Maybe there were parts missing in my Lite-Brite box, as it was a hand-me-down from my brothers who are a decade older than me. Ignorance is bliss apparently because I still had hours of fun creating “free style” designs on it. ⠀ ⠀ Swipe left to see the paperless version I would've created back in the day.⠀ ⠀ @36daysoftype #36days_l #36daysoftype06 #36daysoftype #90stoypography #litebrite #hasbro #36days_Adobe #contest⠀ ⠀ #3dtype #typography #3dillustration #cinema4d #36daysoftype_adobe #retrogaming #retrostyle #90s #retro #oldschool #90skid #90skids #1990s #nostalgia #90svintage #90snostalgia #childhoodtoys #toy #toys #toycollector #boardgames
