Marce Mayhew Rand McNally Ads

The Mad Men era did some pretty cool work when it comes to advertising. These ads for Rand Mcnally Co. are no exception. They were created by artist Marce Mayhew, a creative working in New York City advertising in that era.He did an incredible job mixing geometric architectural elements with the maps themselves. His use of bold bright colors and patterns is surprising and refreshing, and brings more interest to the maps. They were each featured in Graphis Annual, one in the 54/55 issue and the other in the 57/58 issue.
