Graphis Annual '57/58

The Nonist has a running series highlighting vintage Graphis Annuals, and the 1957-58 edition is available to view. A quote from the edition's intro: “The public is demanding more pictures and fewer words." Featuring some wonderful illustration and posters, the 22 images posted were chosen because they forecast the iconic ad styles of the 60s. "It’s an interesting year because you can see the past and future jostling for position," says the Nonist (aka Jaime Morrison). Compare this edition to the 1971-72 edition—quite a visual shift, especially from Olivetti (featured in both editions). [via Jason Santa Maria]
