Thinking About The Learning Agreement

"Is the recent return to handmade a form of nostalgia?"

My Work deals with LO-FI / DIY styling, traditionally this means handmade / analog / low quality

But now anybody can get hold of software to produce high quality graphics, so what is lo-fi? is it the nostalgia of making through applying more physical effort than using just a computer, just because something is physically made does it have to be low quality?

Before computers there was still high quality design, books, signs, products were all high quality but without the technology we have today

manual printing processes (ie. letterpress) were the only way of reproduction after hand made

surely you can have high quality design with using modern production processes & techniques

how did they used to layout pages before computers?

are things better designed because we have technology or does it mean that there is more bad design?

What is it that appeals to me about lo-fi design, because i also have an interest in "higher" design too
What Is the best way to cross over the two?
What can be considered as lo-fi techniques these days?

What is lo-fi?
What is handmade?
