Three Fake Ads

A while ago I was doing some research about WWII when I discovered what some modern-day companies were doing back then. (In one case I looked back to WWI.) Just for fun, I created some fake ads for three of them — BASF, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen.

I forgot about them, then discovered them sitting in a folder. I actually think they’re pretty good considering I’m self-taught in Photoshop.

Now before you start getting upset (if you’re that kind of person), realize that 1) the stuff in the ads is true, 2) I don’t have any kind of agenda, and 3) my father and maternal grandfather were in the Army in WWII. So if you’re easily offended by people making fun of German and Japanese companies, maybe you should skip them.

This was just an exercise in humor, nothing more. I just thought it would be funny to create some ads that you would never, ever see.

(I’m sure there were a lot more companies — American, European, Asian — doing their bit to help kill their fellow men. I just chose these three.)
