Targeting consumers
I’ve walked by this on the way into Target at least 20 times I’m sure. I actually like the art direction here, all things considered. It’s pleasing to look at from a distance. Does anyone remember Target Video? They sent us a videotape in the 80’s, some random punk performance, I can’t remember who. I believe their entire catalog was early videotapes of live punk shows in and around San Francisco. They were the ones that recorded the Cramps at a state mental institution. I don’t recall if any money changed hands or not, although I have a vague recollection of actually placing a Target Video advert in an S&A print zine, so maybe they pay us. Target Video still has a blog going, I wonder what they’re up to.
A couple random Target Video clips. Looks like they don’t have their own YouTube channel, and a couple past vids have been yanked when posted by others, so enjoy while you can.

target does have the best red slappy curbs
Good design is not enough.
yeah the target videos were always black and white weren;t they? and shot with one camera, normally pretty badly. Still, a pretty seminal record of an amazing musical time.
