portfolio & design blog of logo & identity designer, Graham Smith
Some hilarious and slightly disturbing magazine and newspapers advertisements from the 1930′s and onwards through to the 1960′s. They really were ‘Mad Men’.
Apologies for the quality of some of these images, they were sent to me in a email, so no idea of the origination of them. If any one knows where these images may have originated from then do let me know so I can put appropriate credits.
I particularly like the first one here, ‘Blow her in her face…’. She looks positively entranced. I don’t smoke, but must try this out.

These are indeed both hilarious and disturbing lol. I’m not sure whether to laugh or be concerned! Really interesting seeing old stuff like this though! :D That first one is epic.

I’d comment on how ridiculous those are, but considering the high-quality they are in given the fact that this was before any Adobe product (let alone high-powered computer, the internet, etc) I’d say these are pretty damn good!
