This post is very image heavy. Please be patient with it. This post is a collection of advertisements on a variety of products, services, and events. Some of them are nothing short of amazing. A few of them are so so, but in a list of over 100 I think that should be expected. Check them out and let me know what some of your favorite ones are.

    Go back to ad school. This is the most trite collection of ads I’ve ever had the misfortune to look upon.

  7. John says: Mar 10, 2009

    It is an amazing array of pictures. Why didn’t we go digital years ago?

    lol@ go back to ad-school. Funny, but unfortunate that just b/c someone doesn’t dig something at the same level YOU do, we’re suddenly affected with down-syndrome with our ability to reason. These are funny. Sorry your encyclopedic knowledge of ads makes them “trite” to you. You sound like a tool; I’m sure everyone just LOVES to be around you, Mr. Ad-Man… Also, free blog hosting with any domain registration/transfer, http://www.dv8domains.com for anyone that wants to start a blog or other website, free hosting is always good way to go.

    so much bitching. hope you dont take it personally, some people dont have anything better to do than criticize the efforts of others rather than looking at their own inadequacies. makes them feel better about themselves - obvious, i know. i enjoyed flicking through these ads. many are very affecting, one even made me cry (the kid looking for parents). it is useful to have collections like this, if only for research purposes, for people who are studying media and advertising like me. thanks.

    Amazing stuff, dont listen to flamers.

  11. Liz says: Mar 14, 2009

    i think these are really cool! I’m hoping to go into stuff like this and it’s definitely some great stuff to look at! :)

    At a glance, I’d guess at least 90% of these are student works that would never see the light of day in the real world. What’s with all the boring Chinese Olympic ones?

  13. JG says: Mar 19, 2009

    These ads are very effective and entertaining. Great work!

    amazing

  20. Charlie says: May 7, 2009

    Yes, it’s nice to know that really creative ads do exist. I been looking at them for years in pubs like CA and Print and even produced a few myself. They may win awards but unfortunately, they don’t pay the bills for those of us who make our living doing this for a living. Still. Nice Stuff.

  21. Mracellus says: May 16, 2009

    99% boring

  22. parcel delivery says: May 19, 2009

    Some of them are great ads. I don’t agree with few of the comments categorizing them as “boring”…

  23. mastandaa says: Jun 10, 2009

  24. london web designers says: Jul 20, 2009

    fantastic collection of advertisements… We have a book in the office with quite a few of these in there! Some inspire… Some don’t! Personal preference as always.
