Season's Posters
I love love love all of these posters for very different reasons.
-Season 1-
It is simple, clean cut, and silhouette-like. I love the style of this poster and think it is very 1960. It is just the beginning and season 2 and 3 have a little more of a story line involved within the composition. But here's season 1:
-Season 2-
This poster expresses more about what's to come. The setting is Grand Central Station in New York and is quite representative of where most characters are in their life- a place of transition. We see this concept in Don and Betty's marriage, Sterling Cooper, Pete and his wife's relationship, Peggy, and more.
-Season 3-
Ahh..the oh so handsome Don Draper in deep agua. I think this is pretty obvious- the poster is speaking about Don's starting point at the beginning of Season 3 and how he intends to get out of that quickly rising water. The fun fact about this poster is they actually did make a set to look like Don's office and did in fact fill it with water. Awesome.
-Season 4-
Can't wait to see it!

Welcome!
This blog will be about everything MAD MEN! There's so much about this show that is beautiful, clever, tactful, and carefully articulated that I can't just simply watch it- I have to talk about it!
My first few posts will be analyzing concepts, pleasures, and ideologies of the show. I'll also be talking about the sets, characters, colors, clothes, production, news, opinions...and just about anything else I can think of.
Enjoy!
