I had a big (big!) stack of magazines I went through not long ago, clipping as necessary. I tore out articles I wanted to keep, and I tore out images, words, and characters (letters/numbers/symbols) to use in art journals. As I went, I realized that some of the phrases I’d clipped make good page inspiration in themselves. So here’s a list.
Some of these are pieces clipped from articles or headlines. Others may be catchphrases for brands, so let me be clear that if any of these are trademarked phrases, their owners have all rights to them. The only thing I’m doing here is gathering all of these phrases into a single list. (If anyone should find something here that should not be listed, please let me know and I’ll remove it ASAP. But at this point I am unable to differentiate between clippings that came from ad copy and clippings that were merely pieces of articles.)
