How Ads From Today’s Famous Brands Would Look If They Were Created In The 1950’s

Advertising, as well as a lot of other fields, has had to adapt to the evolution of technology. And we can totally see a difference when we compare the old, vintage ads to the ones created nowadays. While both vintage and today’s ads still think about consumer desire, today they rather sell an idea than a product.

Invaluable, the world’s leading online marketplace for fine art, antiques and collectibles, has created 5 vintage posters that show how would the famous brands, such as Airbnb, Spotify, or Snapchat, advertise themselves if they were marketed with a different mindset in the 50s. Scroll down to see it for yourself.

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.

    I love how the Bored Panda is full of delicate little snowflakes that downvote everyone with different opinion. People have said that they don't like this, and that warrants a negative vote? Lear to accept other peoples opinions, and respect them. You will not always find approval in life, and you shouldn't have to. I, for one, like this "vintage ads", but accept that some people don't, and they are allowed to say that, especially since their comments are not disrespectful in any way.
