Old Magazines From the 1950's!

What I love from this video is that Jasmine is so smiley and happy in her video. You can tell she has such a great passion for the 1950’s.

Everything about this era seems to brighten her day. I love how she styles her hair like many in the 50’s.

She has the waves just like how Marylin Monroe did her hair. It was interesting to view a lot of these magazines that she choose to show her viewers.

How the covers are so different from magazines today. The quality of print on these look more like drawings on the inside and I am fond and here for this look.

What they have the same from our magazines today is they have the big title on the front and features a photo of people. Whether it be models, actresses, actors, etc.

I noticed that one of the magazines was priced at 20 cents and it seems so cheap compared to ones we buy at the store today. I bought a magazine for almost nine dollars and that was a Harry Styles Vogue one.

What surprised me about these 1950’s magazines was how bright and colorful they are. It seems as they wanted to catch people’s attention to influence many to buy these.

In today’s generation we have more neutral colors rather bright colors to catch many people’s attention to buy these types of magazines.

Inside of these some pages were of what looks like to be drawings and others are photos of people in a black and white filter. The wording at the top is big and bold and then they have a paragraph at the bottom.

I do have to say is that people who made these magazines in the 50’s did a great job of organizing the pages and putting them together nicely. Another page I’d like to mention was of a collage of photos many of them containing one woman.

They took the photo up close and others showed her whole body. These contained her playing tennis and posing in different areas.

Again, these magazines were nicely organized and well put together, I am very impressed. You can tell those who made these back in the 1950’s made great effort to produce quality gossip magazines.

During the 1950’s, more than half a million people in the United States were in mental asylums and lots of them were in there for life. At one point, there was not even enough beds for all the patients being admitted. These places were so widely supported and were deemed as helpful for those with mental illnesses.
