The pop-culture aesthetic of the 1980s can be a hard thing to appreciate. But Canadian graphic artist James White makes a pretty compelling effort with Uzicopter, his Tumblr of Reagan-era design inspiration.

White's Signalnoise studio collects ads, posters, computer animation and logos from the '80s, with a few of his own recent creations thrown in. White has developed a signature style that brings retro mystique to modern projects like his official designs for the recent video game Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
