January 18, 2004Those Apple AdsYou’ve probably seen Apple’s original 1984 Macintosh ad, shown 20 years ago. The ad is now considered the greatest commercial ever made. Apple celebrated the anniversary with a new version. The woman is wearing and iPod, and the screen now says 2004 instead of 1984. The ad has a very interesting history. (via this slashdot comment). Apple’s board at the time almost killed the ad. Here’s another article about the ad. (via yet another slashdot comment) And one of the print ads for the original Macintosh. There isn’t anything creative about this ad, but it is interesting to see how they had to explain what a mouse and a GUI was. No one had ever seen anything like it before. (Via another slashdot comment) (As you might be able to guess, I got this from a slashdot article on the original Macintosh). Posted by Jeremy at 10:05 PM | Link
