Hello,

Very nice post, I like your blogging techniques and have bookmarked this blog as found it very informative. Keep it up.

Good information, thanks for sharing. Good environs make good life!

These are great examples of 70’s packaging design. The use of flat, high-contrast colour coupled with the tonal mix make them unmistakeably from this era. My favourite element though is the typography. It is amazing to see what great letterforms could be created without the use of modern desktop publishing software.

Liam…my mind has officially been blown for the day. Great post!

my favorite colors. calendar inspiration! woohoo.
