This was such a fun series to design! Neons and halftones and bitmaps and super retro graphics inspired by two-way radio communication!

The inspiration behind the QSL series come directly from the QSL cards that are a visual representation of two-way radio communication. The term “QSL” originates from the radio “Q” code used for confirmation or acknowledgment. In the early days of amateur radio, operators would send postcards or cards to confirm successful radio contacts. These cards evolved over time and became personalized, often featuring unique designs, illustrations of radio equipment, call signs, and artistic elements.

It is from these cards that the QSL Series takes its graphic inspiration. Each board acts as its own unique QSL, featuring graphic hits inspired by original cards, a series of coordinates and a hidden call sign; all the information needed to send a return QSL.
