Inspiration from Vintage Ads

January 17, 2008 from

A few days ago I was working on a project that needed some Vintage Images, like old ads. I decided to look for them on the web, more precisely at Flickr.com. After like 5 hours I had found so many images that I had to stop or else I would spend the rest of my life viewing them.

In this post I will share some of these amazing ads I found, so if you want to create a Vintage design it’s a good start with some crazy old ads.

World War II (1942 - 1945)

 Beginner Tutorial: Create Dexter on illustrator
Hi everyone, I decided to insert some nostalgia on today's tutorial. Since I'm a guy born in the early 90s, I thought sharing how to draw Dexter would be really interesting and fun. If you've ever watched Cartoon Network you'll probably recognize this little fella at first sight.
