Fun with Photoshop…or, (and probably more accurately) fun with NonBillable time!

Great contest devoted to “updating” historic ads by placing current product offerings. Note the attention to authenticity. Great stuff.

I’m a glutton for vintage advertising…it reminds me of a different time. A time when you didn’t know if your ad was doing the job and didn’t care. It didn’t really matter what the public thought about your ads. And, if they did have any qualms, had zero opportunity to give input.

These mark the beginning of the one-sided conversation that is all almost gone…but thanks to exercises like this…not forgotten.

Who says that traditional advertising is dead?
