Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes, Ladies' Home Journal, July 1916 - Hoodie Design
This hoodie design captures the essence of a vintage advertisement for Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes, as featured in the July 1916 issue of Ladies' Home Journal. The artwork, inspired by J.C. Leyendecker's illustrations, likely showcases the "Kellogg's Kids"—healthy, bright-eyed children—enjoying a bowl of corn flakes.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central imagery likely depicts a charming illustration, possibly of a young girl with a cheerful expression, perhaps with a "little curl." The focus is on the association of Kellogg's Corn Flakes with wholesome family life and the joy of a pleasant breakfast routine. The design uses visual storytelling to communicate freshness, and appealing taste.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design, drawing from the advertising of the time, uses idealized imagery to symbolize health, happiness, and the idealized American family. Kellogg's Corn Flakes is presented not merely as a product, but as an ingredient of wholesome family life. The bright-eyed children represent the enjoyment of breakfast while associating the product with a pleasant and convenient start to the day. The inclusion of seasonal details, like "ripe red berries," may also connect the product to the pleasures of summer.
