[Advertising and Promotion][ Illustration Art][ Visual Culture] The Magic of Color in Vintage Advertising - Fifty Years of Color Brochure Covers - 1880s-1920s. 1880-1930s. A collection of over 50 cover illustrations selected for first impression attraction to the color image. Spanning 50 year from the 1880s through the 1930s. Consists predominantly of booklets with a few programmes, a box top etc. The collection may be used in many ways to understand the use of color illustrations in advertising. Some initial observations follow; The change in design and use of color by decade. It demonstrates the evolution of design from the flourishing elaborate Victorian design through the gentle and feel good calmness of the first quarter of the 20th Century ending with the angular, streamline brilliant pops of color of the late 20s and 30s influenced by Art Deco and flight of fancy designs. Note the variants in the inks as time progressed. Brooklyn Virtual Book Fair 2020 [email protected] 7 A second observation of the collection is the various visual messages employed to inform or persuade the viewer to look further Drama - the die-cut bars of a jail cell to the dramatic images of the star Emotional Draw - from the young boy with his American flag to the College chaps gathered around the piano singing Endorsers - From Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty promoting remedies to the Goddess of the Harvest selling Farm Land in Florida Flight of Fancy - The Linebooks from the Chicago Tribune with pops of color and floating objects to Toy Tinkers with vibrant shapes. Influencers - Images that put you into the picture from the lady golfer to the mother and child under the rainbow of happiness if you used this product this will be you. | Juxtaposition - often used by remedy makers - from plain folk to glamourous actresses appearing with a life size bottle of the product. Non-Sequitur - from scenes of Egyptian pyramids promoting remedies to a anthropomorphic cat promoting as a printer Picture Tells The Story - From the man with the headache to Oil Comes to Us Product Depict - from rich prunes to rice coating the world Product Superiority - run fastest with Keds to the finest spice cookies One booklet, Peruna for Catarrh. has two different forms of advertising both the juxtaposition on the front the nurse holding the products on the reverse. To this point we have only examined the covers. One item of particular note is Toy Tinkers - a fold-out 8pp. pamphlet that includes futuristic design, emotional draw with loving families playing games together, whimsy and excellent product display. Aside from the advertising imagery the booklets include information on various types of products including Appliance, Clothing,Cream Separator, Food, Household goods & Remedies, Insurance, Medical, Military, Pianos, Printing, Promotion - Land, Promotion - Natural Resource, Promotion - Newspaper, Promotion - Patriotism, Promotion – Town, Remedy, Shoes, Theatre, Toy and more.

  • Playing in the Dirt: Tomboyism and Its Literary and Film Adaptation in Carson Mccullers
    Palacky University Olomouc Philosophical Faculty Department of English and American Studies English and American Literature Veronika Klusáková Playing in the Dark and Dirt: Tomboyism and its Image in Carson McCullers’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter and The Member of the Wedding as Novels and Films Hry v temnotě a špíně: tomboyismus a jeho obraz v románech Carson McCullers Srdce je osamělý lovec a Svatebčanka a jejich filmových verzích Ph.D. Dissertation | Dizertační práce supervisor | vedoucí – prof. Marcel Arbeit 2012 1 Prohlašuji, že jsem dizertační práci napsala samostatně, pouze s použitím citovaných pramenů a literatury. I hereby declare that I have written this dissertation by myself, using only literature and sources cited below. V Olomouci 28. května 2012 | Olomouc, 28 May 2012 2 Abstract My Ph.D. dissertation Playing in the Dark and Dirt: Tomboyism and Its Image in Carson McCullers’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter and The Member of the Wedding as Novels and Films deals with the phenomenon of tomboyism and the forms it adopts in two novels by the southern writer Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (1940) and The Member of the Wedding (1946), and films and TV programs made from these two novels across the second half of the 20th century. The first part of my work outlines possible theoretical approaches to tomboyism from the perspective of gender (androgyny, feminist criticism, female masculinity, masquerade and gender performance), discusses the issue of the tomboy’s liminal position between childhood and adulthood as well as between masculinity and femininity and introduces the method of intersectional analysis which, combined with queer theory addressing identity categories as fluid, allows me to analyze questions of race, class and sexuality arising from the specific regional setting of McCullers’s work.

  • Slavery in White and Black Class and Race in the Southern Slaveholders’ New World Order
    This page intentionally left blank Slavery in White and Black Class and Race in the Southern Slaveholders’ New World Order Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodox Chris- tians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of the people who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slaves enjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class in the world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of all races across the world would be immea- surably improved by their enslavement? In the Old South, but in no other slave society, a doctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, and intellectuals, “Slavery in the Abstract,” which declared enslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless of race. They joined the socialists, whom they studied, in believing that the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, was collapsing. A vital question: To what extent did the people of the several social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine? That question lies at the heart of this book. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese (1941–2007) was Eleonore Raoul Professor of the Humanities at Emory University, where she was founding director of Women’s Studies. She served on the Governing Council of the National Endowment for the Humanities (2002–2007). In 2003, President George W. Bush awarded her a National Humanities Medal; the Georgia State Senate honored her with a special resolution of appreciation for her contri- butions as a scholar, teacher, and citizen of Georgia; and the fellowship of Catholic Scholars bestowed on her its Cardinal Wright Award.

  • Annah Yevelenko Beauty Editor
    Starting this magazine, we had no idea what we were up against. Albeit we may have bit off more than we could chew but then the first issue came out and we were applauded. It was the shear response and support that we received that pushed us on to the next installment: Our Autumn September Issue. We both felt the gypsy-themed issue embodied the free-spirited drive that lead us to start the magazine in the first place.We curated some wonderful talent and put together an issue that we feel is inspiring and a great follow up to our first. Our cover editorial, shot in the La Mirage lakebed in the Mohave Desert, encompasses this season’s cornucopia of color, prints, fur and leather pieces. And in keeping with that eclectic gypsy style, we combined them all into a bright colorful explosion. We hope you enjoy. Again, as proud parents of this endeavor we would like to thank everyone for their time, dedication and belief in this publication and in us. This magazine would not exist without you. Now, pull out your leathers, fringe, digital prints, denim, bangles, floppy hats and anything furry and get your boho moto ON! Enjoy & Bisous!

The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series. Michele DeVinney interviewed Brother Jimmy for her piece that appears on page 5.

Life on Other Planets Form the pack in a large circle. Cubmaster says: "We've had lots of fun this month imagining what life may be like on other planets. We've looked into the night sky and enjoyed its beauty. Some of you may have learned, too, that the North Star, Polaris, is fixed overhead and that it is used by space travelers and ship captains to find their position. In Cub Scouting we have our own North Star, the Cub Scout Promise. Like the North Star, the Promise is a guide for people on earth. If we follow the Promise, we can be pretty sure that we will be good men. Please join me now in repeating the Cub Scout Promise". (Make the Cub Scout sign and lead promise). The Sky is the Limit Closing Ceremony Den Leader: Cub Scouts, it wasn’t long ago that we heard some people say, “The sky is the limit.” That meant that a man could make anything of himself he wanted…at least, on the earth.
