# Vintage Music Mashups Andrew Kolb Makes a Vintage Poster for Lady Gaga's Telephone By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-01-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrew-kolb References: [interweb3000.blogspot](http://interweb3000.blogspot.com/2011/01/lady-gagas-telephone-als-vintage.html) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/kolbisneat/sets/72157625301623355/) Illustrator Andrew Kolb has taken one of the [most played songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mashapp-music) in the past decade and transformed it into a vintage [lyrical storybook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche). The song Andrew Kolb chose was Telephone, which is one the most recognized songs by the pop sensation Lady Gaga. The styling in this lyrical novel is a humorous twist on the modern hit. The pictures, colors and typeset make this seem like an [old children's book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-scarry). I just wouldn't recommend this as a bedtime story. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vintage Music:** Exploring the trend of transforming modern music into vintage-inspired formats presents opportunities to create nostalgic experiences for music lovers. - **Lyrical Storybooks:** The rising trend of adapting popular songs into illustrated storybooks provides potential for creating unique and interactive storytelling experiences. - **Humorous Styling:** Injecting humor into familiar content through vintage aesthetics opens doors for creative reinterpretations and engaging visual narratives. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Music Publishing:** The music publishing industry can explore collaborating with illustrators and storytellers to create vintage-inspired versions of popular songs, appealing to both nostalgic and new audiences. - **Children's Literature:** The children's literature industry has an opportunity to capitalize on the trend of adapting modern songs into lyrical storybooks, offering a fresh take on classic narratives and attracting young readers. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage the humorous styling trend in creating unique visuals and illustrations that merge vintage aesthetics with contemporary content, captivating audiences across various mediums. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Poster-Inspired Music Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lineupsupply.md) - [Retro Phone-Inspired Label Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-phone-labeling.md) - [Blockish Music Tour Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-eras-tour-poster.md) - [Tech-Infused Analog Radios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-aesthetics-and-modern-technology.md) - [AI-Human Music Albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eleven-album.md) - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Fashion House Checkered Vinyls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-vinyl-record.md) - [Artist Painting-Adorned Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolut-vodka-bottle-1.md) - [Illustrative Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/richard-scarry.md)
