Art Is Messy

I have a soft spot for food packaging from the 60’s and 70’s. I don’t know what it is about the design that draws me to it. Perhaps the campiness and the nostalgia that I enjoy. Maybe I like it because it conjures up memories of going to the supermarket with my mom and picking boxes of cereal. (I usually chose Frosted Flakes.)

While searching around the Internet today I found someone who has an even bigger love for it all. Dan Goodsell (What a great advertising last name!) from The Imaginary World has an extraordinary collection of vintage packaging. I’m particularly fond of the cereal box section.
