I am just creating a cool new album of vintage UK advertisements from the period 1900 – 1978. 70’s ads are the most embarassing.
There are three main steps I take to create a new album:
- Find the content: any pictures will do. Make sure you capture and crop the images for best effect – common ad sizes are listed below.
- Prepare the images in the right sizes, and make sure they are online somewhere you can get the URL location (I use flickr but any online location will do)
- Create a new album and link the album images to the pictures you just created. Please note that you can also put a link to a general website in the second field, which allows you to click on the image and it may take you to a favored site.
Takes a few minutes but the results are worth it. Here are the image sizes – create as many of these as you can.
