Modern Publicicty
Posted by Scott
Insect54 has a great Flickr set of 70’s and 80’s Modern Publicity issues. Still waiting to find a stack of something like this in an old closet or at a garage sale, not holding my breath. Where do you find stuff like this anyways? I suppose at this point it’s down to going to shows and swap meets, I doubt there are many gems like this just floating around anymore.
Published Annually by Studio VIsta. Showcasing the best work submitted by designers from around the world.
Shown here are:
Number 40 –– 1970/71
Number 42 –– 1972/73
Number 50 –– 1981

The use of color and line is just stunning and I love how they use the open space as a window into the world. I would definitely love to run across a pile of these.

November 12, 2009 at 7:59 amMy school library has all of the issues of this book and I’m probably in there at least once a week to check one out. I seriously consider not returning them but I would be charged like $150 (per book) or something crazy so a garage sale or something of the works is probably my best bet…unfortunately.

November 12, 2009 at 11:08 amI find stuf like this via several web sites, and there’s many online bookshop who are selling nice old book for nothing (I usually bough books for 15 $). That’s why I do some book sourcing on designers-books.com

November 13, 2009 at 11:22 amThis post has inspired me to search local garage sales for dusty design gems that, for many years, may have gone unnoticed
