Advertising from the Mad Men Era is a fascinating documentation of American print advertising in the 50s and 60s. The book is edited by cultural anthropologist and graphic design historian Jim Heimann, who is also the Executive Editor for TASCHEN America.

UNHATE

Cath — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 07:48:44 +0000

Never one to shy away from controversy, Benetton’s new UNHATE campaign does not disappoint with shock factor by depicting prominent world leaders and religious leaders kissing each other.

The campaign has “the aim of contrasting the culture of hatred and promoting closeness between peoples, faiths, cultures, and the peaceful understanding of each others motivations, using a global call to action and the latest communication tools…These are symbolic images of reconciliation – with a touch of ironic hope and constructive provocation – to stimulate reflection on how politics, faith and ideas, even when they are divergent and mutually opposed, must still lead to dialogue and mediation.”
