Midcentury Modern

For this project, each person was assigned a company from the Midcentury Modern era of design to make a time-period accurate magazine spread for. I got General Electric.

General Electric

First I had to find the General Electric logo from the era, and make it a workable png.

Finding a Cool Product

I then had to find a product from the era to advertise. This fan seemed cute and time period accurate. I liked the pale bluish grey mixed with the red, so I decided to use those colors as my main palette.

Feeling Fresh

I wanted to include a photo on there, as either photos or realistic illustrations are on a lot of Midcentury magazine ads. I found a stock image of a vintage woman, but it was in black and white, so I recolored it in Photoshop with the colors from the fan.

The Final Image

The final spread included all the elements with type.
