Wonder Bread Marketing pieces circa 1967
I find these pieces fascinating, especially for the era in which they were created, since they could be considered rather risque marketing. Wonder Bread recently celebrated its 90th anniversary in April 2011, so I guess it didn’t hurt. ;)

This is incredibly impressive. What a way to flip an optical illusion to work for you. Try it out, perhaps your vocal reaction will be less embarrassing than mine.

This is seriously one of THE most inspiring films I’ve ever seen. My best friend Billy Beucler took me to a screening on my birthday in 2009. I dare say it changed the way I think about what I do as a graphic artist, designer and marketer. Especially the segments featuring George Lois. HIGHLY recommended.
