A blog about vintage modern design & illustration curated by Javier Garcia
Ok, so I’m trying something else. Sometimes there are things that don’t get to come with me because of its size, etc. so I snap photos of things I like. Yes, they are crappy iPhone photos but you get the idea. Let me know what you think about posting these items along with all the good ones?
Here’s some DDT from Thompson Chemicals Corporation for all your insects and some funky silver spray paint from Craft House Products.

Vintage KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Pamphlet. Designer Unknown. I like the colors, very 60’s. Reminds me of Alexander Girard’s color schemes. Love the use of Eurostile and the cut out faces. Looks 500 times better in person.

I found this nice box of food boxes for the freezer. Probably designed around 1950. Printed in two very common 50’s colors. Nice use of space and type.

Here’s a couple very cool kitschy brochures from Bell & Howell’s 8 mm movie camera and projector. I love the amount of color they added into the pages and the use of simple shapes plus overprint. Circles always attract my eye. It’s printed over a very textured paper. Typography is also very playful, clean and well organized.
