Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and Gregory Corso in Greenwich Village, 1957.

This is something I&#8217;d have on my wall if I was a pretentious art school kid living in Mount Vernon&#8230; ;). But oh man, do want.

If modern software ads were created by Mad Men — Engadget

i’ve wanted to pay homage to the 50s for so long and still haven’t done it yet. new goal as a designer is to create an ad that i’m proud of that looks authentic for my portfolio by the time i’m looking for a new job.

This probably won&#8217;t happen before you&#8217;re looking for a new job (or within the next decade), but my wedding will be 50s themed and I&#8217;m asking you now to make my awesome invitations. This wedding may never happen, thus it may be an invitation to my awesome 50s themed birthday party&#8230; But either way :)
