Modern Publicity 1950 – 51. Illustrated Mid century Art, Advertising and Graphics Part 3

Hey everyone, it finally friday !! Here, it’s a wet end to a rather lovely, mild, October week of weather. I thought you might like something retro for the weekend : ) The Modern Publicity Annual for 1950-51 must have been a good year for quirky vintage graphics, as we’ve made it to part 3 packed with more fab illustrations !

These lovely black and white company symbols show bold strength in their visual messages.

I’m always absorbed by the great textures and shapes used at this time.

Lovely movement in these graphics and onto some fab packaging too.

Great polar bear and the Summit cigarettes look almost 3-D.

Can you believe some of these designs are nearly 65 years old !

Keep an eye out on my blog next week as I’ll be posting a competition for you to win a copy of the latest picture book by Benji Davies and Linda Sarah On Sudden Hill !! Wow, it’s a beautiful book too.
