Retrotisements — A Year in the Life (1967)
In past ad galleries I’ve typically stuck with a particular theme or product, such as holiday-themed ads or new car lineups. I’m going to try something new and product an ad gallery from a single year, covering a wide range or products and services. Basically, a sort of visual shorthand to see what someone would’ve seen in print or TV ads in a particular year. Think of this as a virtual department store of sorts.
For the first edition I thought I’d travel back exactly 50 years to 1967. Let’s browse!
