Fun Friday Resources

Check out Modern Illustration, a collection of commercial art from 1950–1975. On my monitor at least, the results of your search show up below the bottom edge of the screen, so if you don’t see anything and are puzzled (as I was), just scroll down. It’s a great way to get a sense of style from those periods, and it would be a great resource for theatrical designers to choose a palette for a show’s sets and costumes.

From the insanely detailed website Dimensions.com: “Dimensions.com is an ongoing reference database of dimensioned drawings documenting the standard measurements and sizes of the everyday objects and spaces that make up our world. Created as a universal resource to better communicate the basic properties, systems, and logics of our built environment, Dimensions.com is a global platform for increasing public and professional knowledge of life and design.”
