Description: NUTmobile is a series of automobiles shaped like a peanut owned by Kraft Heinz which are used to promote and advertise Planters products in the United States. The first version was created in 1935. Drivers of the NUTmobile are known as “Peanutters”. Nine "Peanutters" are selected to drive three Nutmobiles across the country in the given year. These brand representatives are typically recent college graduates with degrees in advertising, marketing, public relations, and communications. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has a history of recruiting students with representatives in 2014-2015, 2016-2017, 2018–2019, and 2019-2020. During the year, "Peanutters" travel across the country giving out peanut samples, Mr. Peanut
Description: Imperial Airways was an early British commercial airline, operating from 1924 to 1939, principally serving the British Empire routes to South Africa, India, Australia, and the Far East, including Malaya and Hong Kong. On May 1, 1927, Imperial introduced its “Silver Wing” service on the London to Paris route, establishing the first ever luxury in flight service. Operated with a dedicated fleet of three silver Armstrong Whitworth Argosy triple engine aircraft, the planes featured spacious silver and gray interiors with upgraded seating, a full bar, and a steward to serve a four-course lunch during the two and a half hour flight. This design is based on a 1935 advertising poster promoting the London to Paris flights.
Description: Harold’s Club was a casino established in 1935 by Harold S. Smith Sr. and his brother, Raymond. Soon afterward, their father, Raymond I. (“Pappy”) Smith (1887–1967), was appointed general manager and became the public face of the casino. Pappy Smith developed a marketing campaign that made the casino famous, using more than two thousand billboards across the United States advertising “Harold’s Club or Bust,” often written on a Conestoga wagon. By the 1970s, most of the billboards had been taken down because of the Highway Beautification Act. Harold’s billed itself as being both the world’s largest casino, and the first one in Reno, though we’re yet to see either verified anywhere.
Description: Founded in 1935, Harbor Tug & Barge Company was one of San Francisco Bay's first dedicated tugboat operators. In business for over half a century, at its peak, Harbor Tug maintained a fleet of 15 high-powered tugboats, and over 70 barges. Aside from guiding freighters in and out of the bay, Harbor Tug's barges were used for everything from waterfront construction and demolition projects, to the haulage of bulk materials and garbage.
Description: “The Pioneer” (Hebrew) 1935. Graphic illustration for a poster or magazine cover promoting settlement in the Land of Israel. Designed by Steven Pesach Ir-Sahi. Public domain, via PPPA. Steven Pesach Ir-Sahi (1896-1968) was a Hungarian-born Israeli graphic designer, painter, and typographer who played a pivotal role in shaping visual culture in early Israeli society. After making Aliyah from Budapest, he became one of the leading figures in Israel’s poster design. The poster is in the Bauhaus style and links the pioneer with the country’s development. Using a variety of graphic design tools, I created a restored and enlarged reproduction of this historical Israeli poster, based on a rare photo of the original poster in an archive.
Description: This composition is a prime example Mondrian’s astonishingly limited visual language. It consists of just horizontal and vertical lines in black, with planes of white and the three primary colours, from which all other colours are derived by mixing. The structure, the order of the elements in a coherent whole and the pure colour were meant to suggest an ethical view of society. Each individual element and the configuration to which it contributes were intended to symbolise the relationship between the individual and the collective, or the universal.
