'Design Crowd', an online logo design service and marketplace for website design contests and almost any other type of graphic design, introduced its platform users to another fun digital art challenge.
They encouraged artists to compete in a vintage-style modern product advertisement challenge, which could also be done in the exact opposite direction, resulting in modern-style vintage product advertisements. Here we have gathered a collection of user submitted comercial posters from contests shared on the 'Design Crowd' Vintage Ads contest page.

Between cleaning the house and preparing meals, I don't think women of the late 1940s - 1950s would have had time for Instagram, or drinking, or friends or thinking without permission.

Oh, they had time to drink all right. Did they ever.

Be careful. Nokias WERE awesome. My 2008 nokia 6600 Slide still performs amazingly, unbreakable. But now, the feature phone line-up is actually designed and produced by HMD Global. I had a go at the 2021 nokia 6400 4g. Worst phone I ever owned.

When a contestant enters and publishes artwork/design he receives points from the voters. One user can vote for one contest submission, giving it from one to five stars. During the voting time, contestant profiles, their user names, and current votes are concealed, allowing the work to be appreciated regardless of the artist who created it. The identity of the creator and the score received is shared with community after the voting has already finished.

I love books. But I love reading more, and kindles are a superior technology for reading. You can love both, you know. It's not dogs v cats. People who sneer at kindles remind me of vegans, honestly. Hating kindles and refusing to use one doesn't make you morally superior. It's a personal choice, there's something to be said for both sides. I choose both.

I think maybe these are sailors decompressing after a trip to the ocean depths? And listening to Tech9?
Max Fox 2 years ago
To those who do not get the reference - the cannons on Navy ships are BIG, and make a LOT of noise when they fire and most sailors do not do a good job in protecting their ears. The aircraft taking of and landing on aircraft carriers are also pretty loud. So hearing loss is pretty common among sailors. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17484318/

Aspirin and BMW were the only brands ever mentioned in an international treaty. In the Treaty of Versailles, 1919, Beyer had to forfeit the patent on Aspirin, and BMW was prohibited from ever again producing water-cooled aircraft engines.

Side effects of Gardasil may include sudden loss of legs, terminal blindness, catastrophic heart failure and aggressive rectal bleeding. Ask your doctor if it's right for you. Enjoy your life, take Gardasil. (Sorry America, your medical adverts are hilarious)

My favorite side effects were for a medicine for restless leg syndrome. They were increased sexual desire and an urge to gamble.

I think some of these are pretty innovative, but...this generation, who thinks nothing exist before the year 2000, will think these ads were true and will question why older people didn't buy the product. I HATE SOCIAL MEDIA for that reason. I have had to explain so many things to younger people. One person, in particular, asked me how many selfies I did back in the 70's. Seriously, my BROWNIE wasn't great for that and the INSTAMATIC cost too much for an ordinary person to buy, never mind a "professional" camera. Who is teaching these "kids"? ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY ...NO ONE!!!!
