Vintage Men's Magazines

June 11th 2010 02:47

Back in the 1950s, the magazine of choice for men was the adventure magazine.
The pages of these magazines were generally filled with “true” (typically fictionalized or embellished) stories of war, survival, crime, safari, and the Old West. A favourite theme was the showdown between man and wild flesh-eating beasts and critters or men rescuing women from the torture of savage natives or cruel enemy armies.
The showpiece of these magazines was definitely the front covers.
Below are some of the best from this era, see the full set at ArtOfManliness here.

Photoshop Fail

February 19th 2010 01:46

As reported on this article in WebUrbanist, an incredible number of photoshop stuff ups have appeared on magazine covers, product packaging and store displays. Here you will find everything from missing limbs to outrageously overzealous retouching.
Enjoy!

Invisible Bike

It’s hard to tell exactly what the graphic designer was going for here. Perhaps they erased part of the bicycle to work on the wall and forgot to put it back in, or they wanted it to appear as if the man was sitting on the wall and neglected to take out the front part of the bike. Or maybe they’re trying to tell us that if you trade with Saxo Bank, they’ll send you a really cool half-invisible bike.

That Weight Loss Will Cost You

Tara had heard the rumors about extreme weight loss tactics on The Biggest Loser, but she wasn’t prepared for the terrible price she would ultimately pay to reach her goal. But that’s okay, she was never all that fond of her right leg anyway.

What an Improvement

Women in lumpy sweatshirts don’t sell products. Some extreme(ly ridiculous) cleavage and a diamond necklace later, and one retoucher was much more optimistic about the image’s potential.

Why Bother with Fine Print?

You’ve got to hand it to Bausch & Lomb (if you still can, that is): at least they’re up front about the terrible, disfiguring side effects you can expect to experience after using their products. They don’t try to hide it in 12 paragraphs of fine print on their website, it’s right there in the ad. Or, perhaps they’re sending the message that if we use their eye drops, we, too, will be too blind to see glaring mistakes like missing limbs.

Floating Kids

Either this ‘bounce house’ offered by Walmart has truly amazing properties – causing kids to magically turn into hobbits and develop the ability to float in mid-air – or it’s being marketed to a very small group of tiny mutant children. Either way, that one kid floating above the slide should probably get his parasitic twin checked out by a doctor.

Worst Wax Figures

October 2nd 2009 07:30

Madame Tussaud turned wax figures and sculptures into a fine art. At Madame Tussaud's museums today you can find celebrity wax figures so realistic they can't be separated from the originals!
Unfortunately however not all wag figures are created equal. See below some sculptures that turned out not quite right...

Tattoo Locations

September 23rd 2009 02:36

Deciding to have a tattoo and choosing what that tat will are important choices. This is because a tattoo will say a lot about their owner for as long as they shall live. What many people don’t realise however, is that where your tattoo is placed can say just as much!

Tattoo Locations. I will never have a job that pays taxes. I actually cost taxes, you know with prison and all. Socially acceptable rebellious tattoo zone. Warning chance of dragons, wings. Yes, buying me a drink will totally work. It is only when drunk that I discovered my friends are assholes. Danger: Tattoos here will become humiliating faster. People always want to show their tattoos off. Draw your own conclusions. Cute little princess.
