J.woodward-
it’s funny, when I first saw these a couple months ago I was amazed at how similar the style was to my 1971 & Vuela prints and the 1976 shirt especially… but there’s no way I saw these as a kid, growing up in america we didn’t have citroen. I guess it’s just the overall vibe of that era that rubbed off… but still, the similarities are pretty crazy.
i am a daily viewer, i really like the fact that you have a very personal style…not very common nowadays. keep posting this blog is amazing and very inspiring Scott.
My parents were Citroen fans in those days (owning a car called an “ugly duck” 2cv) and we had posters around like these.
Citroen had a cool run of posters and promo’s in the early 80’s as well.
Nowadays they are hip and all .. C5 and so on.
Gladly I saw an old Citroen CX limousine turbodiesel passing me by on the highway just yesterday.
Just that car bring back memories of the 70’s style that was around in the … 70’s ..
Scott – being born in ’75, I think I’m now somehow obligated to put this on my next pair of skis (I get customs made so have control over top-sheet graphics). Of course therein lies the natural follow-on question:
Today’s skis have some pretty deep side-cut (imagine putting two Nutter Butters side-by-side) so how’s best to attack covering two skis to get the most coverage, but lose the least of the graphic?
Some more Citroen Brochure covers from the Citroen 2cv Pages.

I need to study perspective.

March 22, 2010 at 4:11 pmI think the last link in description (“Citroen 2cv Pages”) is pointing to the wrong place. :)

I definitely love the 70s for the way they would melt
geometrics & typography as one entity.
