Here’s a fun idea-
For a 1HDC, pick a simple CE product (ie.toaster, flashlight, electric tootbrush, thermos, whatever) , and pick one or multiple eras (ie. 50’s, 60’s 80’s etc.). The challenge is to design the product in your choice of eras by giving it era appropriate style cues, without it being overly retro or cliched.
Could be great fun, something different, and would be fun to see how different people interpret different eras and what cues they pull to express them.

PS. This was all brought to mind the other day when I saw some guy riding a late 50’s/early 60’s bicycle that had a chrome headlight fairing that looked like the grill of a Caddy all along the top tube, and ended with fins of sorts under the downtube. I immediately thought how cool and era specific it was and at the same time how cool a modern retro inspired version could be. Sorry no pics.
