Psychedelia was born in the 50's to 60's era within the hippie subculture. The name "Psychedelic" come out from the hallucinogenic drugs that were famous at that time. This style was used a lot into clothes, music covers and styles, also Graphic design. Psychedelic graphic mostly using coloured images such as flowers and rainbows, swirling shapes , loud textures, curve shapes, it also used art nouveau's movements. The used of bright, clashing, contrast and luminous colours are really strong. This style trying to make the images or texts appeared to live in the fluid movement. The visual interpretation from this design is fluid acid and drug-induced freakouts. The curly or swirl textures or images represent marijuana and incense smoke. This style was spread through out Europe and America, and ended in 1968.
