1960 Time Trip

This morning I had a little time to kill, so I lugged out an old issue of Look magazine, scanned some of the ads, and created a small 1960 flickr set. This batch has some nice, kitschy imagery as well as some neato illustrations. Like these snappy cut-out kids advertising Armour Meats, for example:

Coupla other things: my review of the springy debut album from the bird and the bee has been posted at So Much Silence. Also, I’ve uploaded my first YouTube clip: the super-groovy opening titles from the 1972 TV movie Probe, previously discussed here. Motion graphics and Elke Sommer — what could be better?
