September 1967: Cover Design - Do It Yourself This vintage cover design from September 1967, titled "Do It Yourself," showcases a man confidently wielding a paintbrush and a bucket of blue paint, with the caption "Build a Pool with a Paintbrush." The cover image, created by Terry Parker, is a testament to the DIY ethos that was popular during the 1960s. The 1960s were a time of innovation, creativity, and self-expression, and the DIY movement was a significant part of that cultural shift. With the rise of home improvement stores and the availability of instructional books and magazines, people were encouraged to take on projects around the house and yard themselves. The cover design for this issue of the DIY magazine is a perfect representation of this trend. The man in the image is shown in the process of creating a backyard pool using nothing more than a paintbrush and some blue paint. The pool design is simple yet elegant, with clean lines and a modern aesthetic. The cover also features a free ticket offer for an exhibition at the Olympia, inviting readers to come and see the latest DIY projects and innovations. The overall feel of the cover is upbeat, optimistic, and inspiring, encouraging readers to take on their own home improvement projects and explore their creative potential. This cover design is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the DIY spirit that defined the 1960s and continues to influence home improvement and creativity today.
