Free World (Jayu Segye) poster, Vol. 14 No. 3 (Korean, Seoul)

A Korean-language sales poster for the magazine Free World (Jayu Segye), Vol. 14 No. 3. A colour cover portrait of a woman in an orange dress and amber beads is captioned 'Housewife and model', with the price per copy, the annual subscription and a Seoul distributor's address. The tell is glittering-generalities with plain-folks: a polished image of everyday modern life sells the magazine. The poster promotes a title and states no political message.
