1960s
Color

Overlaid shots of vibrantly colored paint splatter trails on black background panning in opposite directions. Close up zooming out of an illustration of a woman and man dancing made of blocks of color (woman is turquoise, man is pink) on a thin purple background laid against black. To the drawing’s left appears text which reads “1959” and under it on a yellow block “22 million” and to the right of the image, in the same format, “1969” with “31 million” underneath it on yellow as well. A sort of very small bar graph. Red background with large horizontal piece in the middle displaying three violins in perpendicular directions with a purple background. Over it appears a vertical strip which is painted gray with a similar illustration of the man and woman before. It is a man and woman again in blue and black. To the left of the man and woman reads “1949” and to the right “12,000,000”. The image of the man and woman become larger and the statistics change to “1959” and “16,000,000”. Then again changing, with the woman and man becoming larger, to “1969” and “21,000,000”. Black background, over 1949 is a “G” with a third of it colored in purple (like a graph), then 1959 with an “N” more filled up, then 1969 with a “P” more filled up than the other two (GNP). Over the GNP comes “Gross National Product”. Over “G” appears “285 billion”, over “N” is another number million, and over “P” reads “750 billion”. Then a golden yellow top and purple bottom, in the purple reads “CONSUMER PRODUCTION”. Over it appears a bar graph, each bar getting higher as it goes along from 1949 to 1959 to 1969. Purple background swipes the other graph out of the way. Then power switches over 1949, 1959, and 1969 getting larger with each decade. The final decade has a energy lines and a hand on the switch.
