Watch your husband!!!

Vogue is a magazine that I read every month, for a lot of women it is a bible, a way of life. I recently became overwhelmed with excitement when I came across hundreds and hundreds of previous Vogue's in the bound periodicals section of my school library. I was like a kid in a candy shop. My first reaction was to find the oldest Vogue that our library had, which happened to be from 1930. Vogue goes back further than that even but I decided to grab the oldest and began scanning like crazy the oldest and the newest vogue that I had from this month.
I found that I was interested in the old Vogue for extremely different reasons than the ones from my generation, mainly for the absurd layouts, although a lot of the type treatments were so beautiful. Also, for the crazy messages they were sending women back then.
I decided to piece together my own large scale page of Vogue, we had to include a 4 color process using cmyk, so I used an image from the current Vogue compared with crazy ads and messages from the 1930's Vogue. The "poster" turned out looking special and torn out, old, and completely detached, just as I wanted it!
I plan to expand this project for my final in screenprinting, making it an installation and possibly creating a large scale book.
