content: This subseries consists of a notebook, a scrapbook, drawings and sketches. The design notebook was assembled and presumably used by Wood as a reference tool. It contains artwork for potential ads for several different companies--;Johnson Wax, McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Whirlpool, and Studebaker--and there is no accompanying text. Additional design work includes loose drawings and sketches for a portable 3D-Stereo and unidentified logo development on mat board; artwork for Vigoro Complete Plant Food, also on mat board; and pencil holiday sketches of wreathes, holly, reindeer, stars, trees, snowmen and crèche scenes. There is one Christmas point-of-purchase ad developed by Wood for Hallmark [Mob Tall?] which was intended to be used in place of mistletoe. The Lettering Scrapbook was assembled, created and presumably referred to by Wood during his design work. Wood developed a lettering classification system which is listed at the beginning of the scrapbook. All of the lettering examples were clipped from magazines or newspapers.
