“100 Essential Tips for Cutting Copy” X-ACTO advertisement, c. 1980s
I found the above X-ACTO advertisement and had a few additional laughs while flipping through the March/April 1987 issue of Step-by-Step Graphics. Sadly, many of the tools and processes for graphic design professionals discussed in the issue are a bit foreign to me.
The California Raisins grace the front cover of this 1987 issue. A full-length article in the magazine titled, "Claymation Raisins: A New Wrinkle on the 'Plasti-scene'" highlights the process behind the work of Will Vinton studio.
So I'll leave you with a couple of many commercials you may recall from your childhood:
Michael Jackson w/ the California Raisins
Ray Charles w/ the California Raisins
