Great Vintage Advertisement Collection

I stumbled across this great collection of 50 vintage advertisements that has been curated to include some great ones that reflect the sentiment and design of the time in which they were created. I think I want to be transported back to those days.  Here are a few great examples and there are many more here.

Just checking out the Augmented Reality/Facial Recognition program for Transformers 2. Kind of cool, though it keeps breaking firefox which would be a big fail to me.

Try it here, if you dare...

The Bleeding Billboard

Interesting and controversial. This billboard is meant to highlight that people need to be careful when driving in the rain lest they injure or kill someone. It is shown via a child's face that begins to bleed when it rains. Powerful.

Blue Lobster Viral Campaign

Chinatown2

NIKE spent a fair amount of money producing this viral campaign around the launch of the new NIKE SB Blue Lobster sneaker. It would seem there was some outdoor, video and this blog to capture it all.  I wonder if the novelty has worn off on this type of viral campaign or if it is still cost effective in comparison to traditional shoe launch budgets.
