I have no idea why they'd use quotes... Is a "Witch!" is different than a plain old witch? Is he use of quotes like airquotes or something?

The Smirnoff guide to seduction

The Smirnoff guide to seduction | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Seventies junk advertising is no ordinary advertising. It was the specially made Smirnoff guide to seduction (Complete and unabridged!) – “Elements of all the best seductions as discovered by Cosmopolitan for Smirnoff” with six top models who “reveal their personal approaches to the art“. Isn’t it glorious? Best of all, this is the kind of ephemera which falls out of a magazine and we just throw away, but somehow this survived…

Collecting Print Blocks

Collecting Print Blocks | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

The use of printing blocks in newspapers and other printed advertising resulted in vast quantities of these blocks being produced. Examples of the same logo were often replicated in several sizes depending on the usage. Larger sizes for newspaper or magazine ads, with full, half or quarter page ads requiring different size print blocks. Even smaller versions were needed for letterheads, business cards or company envelopes.  These are now a relic of the very recent past, and quite collectible.

Deanna Dahlsad's curator insight, February 28, 2013 5:40 AM

Recognize any of the old logos -- even backwards? ;)
