Oldies but Goodies
Posted on | January 8, 2010 | 7 Comments
As a maker of advertisements and a lover of all things retro, it’s natural that I would have a special appreciation for vintage ads. So I really, really love the new Vintage Ad Browser created by Phillipp Lenssen. The site contains over 123,311 vintage ads and is organized by category and year. It is a great source of inspiration for me. The design and typography is amazing. And some of the ads are hilariously cheesy. I just had to share with you. Enjoy, my friends!

When I ate meat I loved me some fried spam. I’m not ashamed to admit it.
