Adobe Illustrator Ad c.1987

Adobe Illustrator advert

This Adobe Illustrator advert c.1987 which was ruthlessly torn-out of an old U&lc Magazine (I promise I was not the one responsible) has been floating around my bedroom for some time. This was way before my time... in-fact I hadn't been born.
Anyway, this advert just makes me appreciate how easy we have it these days on the digital front. I mean, just take this copy for example, "You can also rotate, add type, combine one image with another, share images with other users, or even incorporate images into the most popular page layout programs." Who woulda thought?

I just thought I'd share. I was going through some old books on the shelf when I came across Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. The illustrations are seriously awesome. Really beautiful stuff. His work almost reminds me of Sam Weber (who is going to make my wife pregnant one day so I can have awesome kids).

I found a website documenting his work but the scans are darn awful.
