60′s and 70′s?! Bring it!

Posted by admin in Gay Design Disasters, Parties

These are fine examples of gay graphics that reflect a less “digital” time.
I adore the “Faster Pussycat, Kvetch, Kvetch!” one.
The Rumours graphic brings up questions about historical accuracy (Charlotte!), because as an enthusiastic reader of Staci’s dad’s Playboy magazines in the 70′s, I know that Patrick Nagel did NOT use drop shadows, or whatever that thing is.

    I REALLY like the “Rumours” one, historical accuracy be damned. The colors and the illustration are slick.

    The Rumours one would be perfect if not for the drop shadow. I do think that there would have been one brighter color in it, too. Faster Pussycat is in no way 60s looking. The curved bit at the top is straight from Typestyler circa 1991. But it is great anyway. Looks like a very funny show.
