Download or read book Advertising and Public Memory written by Stefan Schutt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly collection to examine the social and cultural aspects on the worldwide interest in the faded remains of advertising signage (popularly known as ‘ghost signs’). Contributors to this volume examine the complex relationships between the signs and those who commissioned them, painted them, viewed them and view them today. Topics covered include cultural memory, urban change, modernity and belonging, local history and place-making, the crowd-sourced use of online mobile and social media to document and share digital artefacts, ‘retro’ design and the resurgence in interest in the handmade. The book is international and interdisciplinary, combining academic analysis and critical input from practitioners and researchers in areas such as cultural studies, destination marketing, heritage advertising, design, social history and commercial archaeology.

Download or read book Mississippi Signs written by Steven Manheim and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signs are a nostalgic connection to the past and an important link to Mississippi's rich history. From every corner of the state, these signs have become part of Mississippi's landscape. In the decades before mass technology, when commerce was based in local business, signs were an important form of identification and advertising. These signs of businesses, products, and services all tell the story of Mississippi. This book includes signs from all of Mississippi's regions, including the Mississippi Delta, Hill Country, Capital/River, Piney Woods, and Gulf Coast. Vintage signs are captured from places like country stores, drugstores, hardware stores, hotels, restaurants, and theaters. Through the passage of time, many of these landmark signs are becoming lost to history. Without preservation, these vintage signs are disappearing. This book documents and celebrates the history, beauty, and significance of the Magnolia State's signs.

Download or read book Sign Painters written by Faythe Levine and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our visual landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. In 2010 filmmakers Faythe Levine, coauthor of Handmade Nation, and Sam Macon began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features stories and photographs of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. With a foreword by legendary artist (and former sign painter) Ed Ruscha, this vibrant book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco s New Bohemia Signs and New York s Colossal Media s Sky High Murals.
