This is a really neat contest where graphic designers create a vintage-looking ad for a modern product.

Lots of great ideas here!

Here's an example:

Wow, all those ads are really impressive! I especially like the Girls Gone Wild one... hehe lol

That Cartier one could have easily been an actual vintage ad though, because Cartier diamonds aren't exactly a 'modern product'!

Wow, you must of been in my dream last night. I recently saw an Armstrong ad with a model that looked like Lucy. Is this a new trend in advertising? I love the Lucy one. She is in a green room with a green brocade dress. I have been trying to recreate that color room for ages. A lady had one that color when I was a child.

I couldn't find it on this site but it is in magazines everywhere now.

Interesting! Just yesterday, while driving down the 605 freeway, I saw a couple of vintage advertising images, one a very well known hat ad, on a digital billboard advertising a local cemetary. If I get a chance, I'll try to snap a picture of it.
