What if Google Maps had been designed in the 1920s? 👀

For the #revival challenge, I reimagined Google Maps through the visual language of Soviet Constructivism. Routes become bold diagonals, turns become oversized arrows, and ETA and distance become strong typographic statements. Navigation stops feeling like a quiet interface and starts feeling like a piece of graphic propaganda telling you exactly where to go.

Such a fun exercise in taking something extremely familiar and asking how differently it could have been designed in another time.

Your turn! What modern product would you send back in time, and to which era? 👀

Curious whether the diagonals fought you at phone size — Constructivist posters were built for one long look from across a room, while a nav screen only gets half-second glances from someone already moving. For your question: airline safety cards, sent back to 1960s Swiss...

What happens when propaganda designed to erase the self gets pointed at the self instead?

Soviet propaganda spent 70 years trying to erase the individual soul in favour of the collective machine. I pointed that exact visual language at the thing it was built to suppress.

I kept flat 2–3 colour print, no gradients, no softness, ink-on-paper style, and honestly, I didn't expect it to come out this cool. Does it give spirituality or propaganda vibes for you? What other era and modern theme you think would be an interesting blend?

Reads more propaganda to me honestly, the flat color-blocking keeps it too graphic to feel purely spiritual even with the lotus pose. I'd love to see this same treatment turned on social media aesthetics, that curated "perfect life" feed culture feels like its own quiet kind of erasure.
