Dollar Store Vernacular

ca. Late 1960s - present

The perennial ecosystem of "cheap" or "outsider" design. Designs found at dollar stores, knock-off products; eg. designs by those outside of the 'design ecosystem'. Sometimes these include things like: flyers made for a school event with word art, graphics for spammy internet sites/ads, personal websites.
