The work, entitled 'Slyvia's Home Journal" shows the beginning of illustrative work and a magazine for women. It was quite humorous to read advertisements for pills, polishing 'paste', tea (which had a completely different currency back then) and many other things. I found I spent ages actually reading the magazine itself out of fascination and then appreciating the design work next.
The illustrations are amazingly modern looking, given the fact they're from such a dated era. I love the stylised line work, and the use of splashes of colour to given attraction to the piece. Although they're not really related to any of my project work at the moment, it's fascinating to look through and appreciate work from such an old era, particularly the 60's work made me smile; because of the use of language (which is much more open and inappropriate) and the way they're able to get away with things that may not be as appropriate in our era and age. It's amazing really as some of them look like they could have been created on illustrator or photoshop.
