Show Notes

I can't remember the last time I heard anyone seriously use the phrase 'Desktop Publishing.' Maybe the mid-2000s?

This episode explores the history of Desktop Publishing, its impact on DIY print culture, and how its 'ransom note' aesthetic was later echoed in early web design and why 'brain rot' videos feel like a return to folk aesthetics.
