It's a decade many of us may like to forget, (bad haircuts, combat boots, Aqua Net…) but the 90s still holds a special place in our hearts here at Spoonflower. Nostalgic souls rejoice, this week we are throwing it back to our favorite, loud and grungy decade, it is #TBT afterall! Big congratulations goes to first-time Design Challenge winner, Caja Wong-chung, of Amsterdam, with her Nostalgia-heavy design!

This is super cute and all…but it just looks really close to Julia Rothman’s casette tape pattern: http://www.juliarothman.com/objects/#5 Hoping it wasn’t intentional. I know inspiration is everywhere and can occasionally seep in weather we mean for it to or not.
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for sharing your feedback! Copyright is very important to us and these contests are meant to challenge designers to flex their creative muscles. We noticed some key differences between Julia’s design and Caja’s design. It seems that the hand-drawn cassette tapes are a very popular motif out in surface design land! Julia is a friend of Spoonflower’s and if she feels that this design is a violation of her copyright, we are happy to share with her the process to report the design.
