In celebration of the 30th anniversary of San Francisco's Summer of Love, Flashback surveyed the book arts of the psychedelic era. Inspired by the electric rhythms of rock and roll and the mind-bending effects of h. drugs, Bay Area-based designers such as Victor Moscoso, Wes Wilson, Rick Griffin, and the team of Mouse and Kelly broke all the rules of "good design" with a rebellious visual language combining nearly illegible typefaces, vibrating colors, and emotionally charged imagery. Flashback explored the full range of late sixties printed matter, including ephemera, posters, and comic book art.
