I love the iPod touch on the Twitter one!
these are gorgeous!
Hahaha, great work. I’ve got the big poster with all the drug and alcohol ads, and these are right up that alley. Love it.
I’m a fan of a bit more edginess in the copy though that makes these old-style ads more satirical, stuff like:
“Skype, now you can turkey dump her to her face”
or
“Twitter, undoing years vocab lessons 140 characters at a time”
I looove it.
This is a lovely idea, and the illustrations are great, but much of the language is well wide of the mark - reads like a misguided twenty-something’s idea of the way people spoke/wrote in the 50s. “Send and watch splendid and captivating films, 24/7″ ??? It’s just clumsy and camp - and “24/7″ would have been meaningless.
Take it from me, I was there. Actually, in the spirit of this website - I AM there!
Hey Mike – great to hear from you all those years off! I often say that nobody ever lived in the past, they lived in now, just a different bit of now to us. I agree with you about the language on the ads. I am guessing this could be due to English as a foreign language. The agency that designed the ads are based in Brazil.
