The c1950 official guide to the small Lancashire town of Mossley - notoriously difficult to date as are many of these official guide or handbooks but some clues in the adverts in this case lean towards this mid-century period. It isn't a large booklet this as Mossley had only a population of some 11,000 and it is situated in the steep valley site of the River Tame in the Pennine Hills to the east of Manchester. The town, like several other adjacent localities, had a complex administrative past as it was, prior to the 1885 creation of the Borough Council and its situation within the old County of Lancashire, situated in three counties - Lancashire, the West Riding of Yorkshire and Cheshire. Under the 1974 local government reorganisation it was annexed into the new Metropolitan Borough of Tameside in Greater Manchester.
The town's prosperity was largely built on textiles, woll but especially cotton and this link with Lancashire is shown in the coat of arms - the red rose of the county and the cotton plant.
I had more to work with on this project but I still used calligraphy and my husband's san-serif for headings. An inexpensive two-color brochure from a series that won an award for college publications that year from American College Public Relations Association or ACPRA. I don't think ACPRA exists anymore but Whitworth was more than happy with winning their first-ever college publications award.
I ordered the type from a printer in Spokane, (not too much choice to work with), got the type repros shipped back from them on the Greyhound bus. Then I created a mechanical with type and stats of headings that I pasted in position, with rubylith windows for the photos to be dropped in by the printer after they had been screened, specified the PMS color, then shipped the mechanical back to Whitworth college on the Greyhound bus. Then all I could do was hope that it would turn out as I had planned.
Perhaps I'll find the designer's name. Or perhaps someone out there in Flickr land will know it. The lettering is out of alignment due to shot over the spine of the book, not part of the design.
A. M. Cassandre, the master designer of Art Deco. I think tears when I think of his sad ending after a productive lifetime producing the most innovative graphic design.
Cassandre took advertising into the modern age of the 1920's, especially with his use of iconographic symbols integrated with letterforms.

Flyers that get posted on a bulletin board have to be simple, act as a poster and still carry the basic information when the application form is torn off. The design of this may look stark but post it on a typical bulletin board, especially in a college environment where you have big time competition for getting attention and the starkness works for it against all of the visual dazzle already on the board.
One of my all-time favorite cartoons was one of Sad Sack peering through layers of posted material on a military display board until he had come to the board itself where a very small posted piece of paper said "Now hear this. All troops required on the green at 6:00 am. by order of General G. Washington."

Classic example of a New Graphic Design layout using only two colors, (a two color run for a printing press is much cheaper than full color) but was an exciting visual utilizing space, tension, asymmetrical layout, and san serif letterform .

The German economy and political crisis had grown more and more desperate by 1932 when this series of tourist folders promoting travel and sports in Germany was issued. They were designed specifically to attract people with money to travel Germany and were circulated throughout Europe, Great Britain and the US along with wall posters. I find it interesting that the letterforms were all contemporary, san serif display faces.
Sponsored by the German Railroads Central Organization for German Tourist Traffic, this effort did very effective advertising for Germany by publishing special folders on canoe trips, winter sports, native costumes, art museum tours, special cultural events and so on.
This series had an international effect on the advertising of that time.
