Getting to know the work of UK-based illustrator Neil Stevensmay feel like a colorful ride through many worlds. His series "Don't Forget the Cassette" creates posters inspired by the designs of cassette tape inlays, and includes stunning layouts that prove that simple can be great. As Stevens realized the hype about vinyls making a comeback, he thought that cassette tapes also deserve recognition and created the posters to successfully pay respect to the outdated but missed music medium. Based on the graphics included in classic C60 and 90 formats, the prints have us thinking about the times when rewinding, fast-forwarding, pausing, playing, and stopping referred to the actual winding of tapes.

Stevens' posters are available on his online shop for 30 British pounds, or 46 US dollars.
