I’d love to see Don Draper try to sell Facebook, YouTube, or Skype to the masses in 1964. Lucky for me, this is exactly the look that Brazilian advertising agency Moma was going for when they created a series of posters featuring social networking technologies. The “Everything Ages Fast” campaign features the very best combination of contemporary and vintage. (via Laughing Squid)

Since Evian’s baby commercials became so popular, why not expand on them? Evian’s creative print ad campaign features people (real people, not models) in t-shirts featuring baby bodies. I think this concept works in an advertisement, but if people wore these t-shirts in real life, I’d wonder how they arrived at their decision. I suppose it’s a clever idea, but what does the t-shirt say about its wearer? What does it all mean? (via Freshbump)

I’ve been tearing through episodes of Mad Men to get ready for the season premiere and for sure one of the things I appreciate about that show is seeing what Donnie Draper’s creative team draws up for their pitches to clients. Vintage European Posters out of Berkeley has a massive collection of overseas posters from that era and before, and I can say that seeing them blown-up and firsthand is even more impressive. My favorite has to be the travel section – there was such a romantic appeal to flying before it became so commonplace.

Two years after the collaboration between Julian Casablancas, Santogold and Pharrell, Converse has once again shown the world who is running the show. This time around it’s Kid Cudi, Best Coast and Vampire Weekend – armed with a free MP3 and mini-docs showcasing each artist’s creative input and inspiration. Such a stellar campaign, I hope they don’t take another two years to keep this series going.

I’m super diggin’ Heineken’s new Camouflage campaign. It’s doubtful I’d rush over and buy a six-pack but I appreciate the nod to cleverness. More samples on Fubiz.
