# Mag Cover Matchbooks Jason D'Aquino's Super Small Scale Pulp Magazine Prints By Rachel | Published 2009-08-20 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Jason-DAquino-art References: [curatedmag](http://www.curatedmag.com/news/2009/08/18/jason-daquino/) & [jasondaquino](http://www.jasondaquino.com/) Using vintage pulp magazine covers as his inspiration, Jason D'Aquino creates really small hand-drawn black and white prints on matchbook covers. The matchbook does seem like an odd place for hand-drawn art, but Jason D'Aquino likes miniature art, and these are certainly miniature. It's crazy to see how much detail he can make on such a small space! These are definitely matchbooks worth keeping instead of throwing away when the matches are gone. **Implications** - Consumers are more willing to purchase an item if it features impressive artwork because it visually engages consumers. Corporations looking for a low-cost, but effective way to entice consumers into buying their wares may consider utilizing eye-pleasing graphics on the packaging of products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Miniature Art:** The demand for miniature art is increasing as consumers are fascinated by the level of detail that can be achieved in a small space. - **Visual Engagement:** Businesses can leverage impressive artwork to visually engage consumers and enhance the overall appeal of their products. - **Creative Packaging:** There is a growing trend for incorporating eye-pleasing graphics on product packaging to attract consumers and differentiate brands. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Collectibles:** The art collectibles industry can capitalize on the demand for miniature art and create unique, limited edition pieces for collectors. - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods companies can explore incorporating visually engaging artwork on their products' packaging to captivate consumers and drive sales. - **Design and Advertising:** The design and advertising industry can offer creative packaging solutions to businesses, helping them create visually stunning and distinctive brand identities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Imitation Book Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novel-bookwallets.md) - [Collectible Mint Tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altoids-x-bad-roman.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Mini Hot Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-hot-sauces.md) - [Customizable Marketing Postcards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpress.md) - [Color-In Fish Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summertime-art-box.md) - [Miniature Collectible Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-smallest.md) - [Limited Miniature Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-paintings.md)
