I realized I haven’t properly explained what a workbook is:
despite posting them with magazine scans, they aren’t magazines!
a workbook is a giant directory book collecting of hundreds of different visual artists along with their contact information to be hired by design departments of companies. They were all the rage before online portfolios were a thing, typically you’d spend a few thousand USD to get a full a single page of advertisement and then the book would be printed and shipped off without your involvement! Workbook is the name of this specific publication (and they’re still around today!), but many other workbooks were printed under other titles!
with each scan my workbook 21 falls a little more apart…
here are some workbooks I have yet to scan :D
