'Design Crowd', an online logo design service and marketplace for website design contests and almost any other type of graphic design, introduced its platform users to another fun digital art challenge.

They encouraged artists to compete in a vintage-style modern product advertisement challenge, which could also be done in the exact opposite direction, resulting in modern-style vintage product advertisements. Here we have gathered a collection of user submitted comercial posters from contests shared on the 'Design Crowd' Vintage Ads contest page.

More info: designcrowd.com

'DesignCrowd' organizes contests in a variety of areas, including photography, Photoshop, illustration, logo, graphic, and web design. They are all assigned a distinct level of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Open. Community members of 'DesignCrowd' can then select to participate in these contests based on the category of the contest and the level of difficulty.

Between cleaning the house and preparing meals, I don't think women of the late 1940s - 1950s would have had time for Instagram, or drinking, or friends or thinking without permission.

To participate in the contest, the candidate must first register on the platform and visit the Community Contest board. Users may use the the contest board to browse open competitions, vote on contests in the deciding stage, or examine the results of closed challenges in any category they are interested in. 'DesignCrowd' encourages newcomers to "carefully read the contest description, requirements and rules before entering to ensure your submission meets the standards for that contest" as some of the submissions might get eliminated for not adhering to the Contest Rules.

No Red Bull in my saucer. I don't want to be an ugly green demon thing.

The game boy does give you entertainment all night. I would stay up all night playing on the game boy color if I could :)

When a contestant enters and publishes artwork/design he receives points from the voters. One user can vote for one contest submission, giving it from one to five stars. During the voting time, contestant profiles, their user names, and current votes are concealed, allowing the work to be appreciated regardless of the artist who created it. The identity of the creator and the score received is shared with community after the voting has already finished.

'Design Crowd' invites people of all skill levels to compete against one another in entertaining and interesting events to accumulate creative forces. Contest winners are acknowledged on the platform and can continue to work professionally.

My Kindle is worth its weight in gold after I had eye surgery and can't read small print anymore!

I think maybe these are sailors decompressing after a trip to the ocean depths? And listening to Tech9?

Big fan of the terrible math at the bottom. You can fit, maybe, 7 1mp images on a 1mb disk, and drives were, dependant upon tech, either a tiny bit quicker than 150kb a min or achingly, mind-blowingly, slower. Yes yes I know, I am no fun at parties :D

And we still use it today XD 124 years later! (Salicylic acid has been used for thousands of years, but “aspirin” as a brand name only appeared around 1899)

Side effects of Gardasil may include sudden loss of legs, terminal blindness, catastrophic heart failure and aggressive rectal bleeding. Ask your doctor if it's right for you. Enjoy your life, take Gardasil. (Sorry America, your medical adverts are hilarious)
