Vintage Ads

Vintage Ads can be a wonderful resource for design inspiration. Often I find the most amazing hats in ads designed for other products such as shoes, automobiles, and even cigarettes. Here's a small sampling from the 1930's and 40's....

  1. A majority of vintage ads, especially those created in the 1950s and 1960s, used bright, colorful imagery to capture their audience's attention. The vibrancy of a decade's campaign adds to the appeal of vintage memorabilia as antiques and collectibles today.
