Vintage Ads Or Images

Recommended Posts

does anyone have an idea where i can find vintage ads for free? i'm having a hard time searching for those that are free, i only see those that are being sold. or if not, do you know how to make an image look more like vintage using image editors like photoshop or gimp. i'm using vintage as my theme for my layout and i'm kinda scrambling because i have to finish it soon.

What definition are you using for 'vintage'? Do you mean like an antique look with curled edges and a 'hazy' look to it? or more like vintage as in the '37 Chevy was a 'vintage' Automobile?

not exactly vintage ads... but just check with them if these images are "completely" free (they have a donation link, though): http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/vintageresources.html

also a nice selection of cliparts from days of old: http://antiqueclipart.com/

for images you already have, which you want to convert to have a vintage "feel", you can have them sepia-toned in photoshop or any other graphic editor. there's a lot of tutorials online on this, but here's a quick one for you which will hopefully start you going:
