I've recently been rewatching Totally Spies on youtube, a show I loved watching as a kid. In the past couple years, I've developed a more passionate interest in interior design, and the TS set design has been a recent fave of mine for inspiration - as I've dived deeper into the study of visual culture and media I like, I've also thought about what makes the visual design of the show so fun to watch. Here are a couple examples of screenshots from Clover's house that exemplify some of the bright, warm colors, the curved, retrofuturist shapes and styles, and interesting details in the characters' rooms. I'm thinking of expanding on this in my future 'visually cultural' page - let me know in the poll to the left if you'd be interested in seeing more!
