Childhood Nostalgia: pt. 1 – Advice to Your Younger Self






About the Project

Childhood Nostalgia is a printed publication that reimagines the cassette tape as a vessel for memory, reflection, and emotional time travel. Designed in the shape of a cassette, the book blends pixelated VHS-style typography with the tactile charm of analogue media to evoke the spirit of early 2000s technology.

The content was sourced through a Google Form, where I invited friends, family, and strangers to share heartfelt advice to their younger selves. Each response is paired with found ASCII art—carefully selected to reflect the emotional tone of the message and echo the lo-fi aesthetics of the digital past.

With each page turn, Childhood Nostalgia becomes a quiet meditation on growth, vulnerability, and the comforting imperfection of obsolete media—bridging analogue and digital memory in a format made to be held.




Process Snapshot


Collected through Google Forms, responses from 50 participants shaped the emotional core of this book—each offering advice to their younger selves.

This volume is part of a larger series, with future works planned around the remaining 12 questions—each exploring a different facet of nostalgia through visual storytelling and design.
