Amazing Vintage Ads

October 14, 2008 from abduzeedo's blog

Vintage ads are awesome. We really can learn a lot from them. Colors, typography, the way the designers and artists found ways to overcome the lack of technology to produce some really amazing pieces.

In this post we will feature some Vintage Ads sent to us by Enzo Gravante, a collector who has a huge collection of ads dating from 1900 to 1980 for a wide variety of categories. We will show you some from very famous Italian artists such as Gino Boccasile, Mario Puppo, Luigi Veronesi, Marcello Dudovich, Al Moore, and many others.

I'm a collector since about 20 years, and I have of all categories (cars, watches, pens, pencil, cigarettes, cigars, jewelry, dressing and accessories, shoes, touristic country, medicines, cosmetics, parfums, cartoons, toys, interior design, benzine gasoline, motors, motocycles, bikes, food & beverage, postcards, lighters, pipes and accessories, typewriters, calculators, photo machines, field glasses, films, sports, covers of magazines with actor and actress, and a lot of original document about very important persons of culture) - from 1900 to 1980 - many of those are very rares and many designed (with signature) of very famous grahics (Gino Boccasile, Mario Puppo, Luigi Veronesi, Marcello Dudovich, Al Moore, and many others)

Featured Tutorial

 Create a Top Gun Badge on Illustrator
Some weeks ago, while watching the Montreal Meets I remember that Fábio and James talked about watching Top Gun. Some of you may not know, but Top Gun is a 80's classic, I was even born when it came in to the cinemas, but I watched later and I must say it is really badass. So, after watching my buddies speech, I just found myself watching the movie again and that gave me a nice idea for a tutorial.
