Advertising – Public Awareness

Posted by Periodicals/Reference Librarian

Not created to sell products, but rather to sway opinion and, of course, initiate and raise awareness, public awareness ads (PSA’s) recall the issues; the fears, deficiencies, and perceived instances of collective ignorance of a given time. Related to Advertising – Corporate Identity in their shared use of propaganda like techniques, these print manifestations of agenda can be very impactful. We divide Advertising – Awareness chronologically: Advertising – Public Awareness – Pre-1980 Advertising – Public Awareness – 1980-1989 Advertising – Public Awareness – 1990-1999 Advertising – Public Awareness – 2000-2010 Advertising – Public Awareness – 2010-2019

Signs & Billboards

Jan 31

Posted by Periodicals/Reference Librarian

A sign is something that can point you towards an attraction – towards a milkshake, a movie, or a neighboring town — but some signs are so unique, or so bleakly common, that they themselves become attractions (or un-attractions). Check out some of the more unusual signs here at the picture collection – there are 98 pictures and 12 booklets waiting for you.

Sports – Wrestling +++

Wrestling is an ancient art, and a glorious, however cheap hoax. Whether it be sumo, Olympic, or professional, all varieties take skill, athleticism, dedication, and in the case of the latter, bravado and character personification. The sport certainly attracts eccentric competitors. In the picture collection you’ll find 70 wildly gestural pictures (and lots of eyeliner).
