I was just about to finish up the variation 2 when I got carried away by a few typewriter ads I found from the 50s. Very interesting to see how alike and yet different these ads are based on which country they come from (or for which audience they were designed...).. Style, colors, aesthetics, selected objects... Which is your favorite?
