Cigarettes & Wet Dreams: A Progression of U.S. Presidential Campaign Adds

This exhibit explores and displays a radical progression of U.S. Presidential campaign advertisements. From today's standards of common courtesy and political correctness, the majority of these adds would hardly be present in private conversation, much less the national spotlight. The purpose of this exhibit is to analyze how the usage of everyday writing, within the context of political advertisements, has developed over time to form us where we are today as a society.
