Alice & Martin Provensen, Barbecue Recipes

A lof of Alice and Martin Provensen has been finding my way lately and here’s one magazine I haven’t seen before. It’s called Indoor and Outdoor Barbecue Recipes and it’s full of illustrations, wonderful layouts, big type. All artwork is done by them including cover/back cover. I’ve been a fan of them for a long time but I had to open up this magazine to realize it was done by them as the cover doesn’t fit their style too much. Totally blown away. If you haven’t heard of them, I suggest you Google their name. Tons of wonderful stuff. Click images to enlarge.

Frigidaire Food Keeping Tips

Here’s a pamphlet for Frigidaire (General Motors) Refrigerators. Really love this cover. The hexagon placement creates a nice layout. The Frigidaire logo just rocks although it looks a bit squeezed in at the bottom.

Jim Flora, Richard Strauss 10″ Record Cover

Here’s a 10″ record I haven’t seen pictured. It is not signed or mentioned on the back but it is listed on the Columbia Records section on the Jim Flora site as one of his designs. I knew it had to be a Flora design since the moment I saw it. Always happy to find Jim Flora records. I have more but they all have been featured many times on other sites.

UPDATE: at the time I wrote this post, there wasn’t any info available and I just found out that there is an article on the Jim Flora blog. Seems to be quite a rare piece.
