Dwaipayan once suggested that I start a different blog exclusively for ads, but that would be too much of an effort for me.<br /><br /><b>San</b> I believe that I didn't yet explain the 'real' reasons behind this. I have always been an ad enthusiast, but was really disappointed by the absence of an online freely accessible archive of vintage Indian advertising. There do exist a few sites doing a good job, one is <a href="http://agencyfaqs.com/">agencyfaqs.com</a> and the other is <a href="http://www.magindia.com/">magindia.com</a>. But then for an amateur ad lover or a student of advertising, they do not suffice, either because of the absence of archival material or prohibitive costs involved in acquiring them. The CDs available at Magindia cost between Rs 7,500 to Rs. 35,000. Not too high an amount for the professionals but for the student?<br /><br />Therefore I thought that if I could in my small way try to fill in the yawning gap in the availability of Indian advertising from the yesteryears. Initially began with the print medium, because that is more easily accessible, will also attempt TVCs provided I have the resources. I am doing it primarily because of the feel good factor. It really makes me feel good doing this. And when I get mails from students with queries related to their assignments, that makes the whole effort worth it.Soumyadiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682209847610571893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13242432.post-85996181678742694132006-08-31T18:17:00.000+05:302006-08-31T18:17:00.000+05:30forgive me if i've missed something - or link me t...forgive me if i've missed something - or link me to teh right direction if you've answered this question but whats the reasoning behind the vintage ads?<br /><br />Great idea though, it's lovely to see old marketing ideas that were constructed in the good old days, kinda helps me with inspiration in my work :)Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542542549895543741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13242432.post-69074615620307087432006-08-30T21:40:00.000+05:302006-08-30T21:40:00.000+05:30welcome to the my-pc-sucks club!welcome to the my-pc-sucks club!dwaipayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147671956829078835noreply@blogger.com
