0 johnny Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Here’s a few examples I found hope there of help https://www.broadsheet.ie/2013/02/13/the-roaring-90s/ https://pxll.wordpress.com/2014/06/01/kelloggs-wake-up-to-breakfast-billboard/amp/ I’d have a look at the reeling in the years on rte, you would be surprised at what might pop up, also maybe give these guys an email they have looked after billboard advertising for donkeys https://www.jcdecaux.ie/partner/billboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 murphaph Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Are you looking for "definitely appeared as a billboard ad" stuff or just "ads from the period that may have also been on billboards"? If the latter, I got to thinking and remembered the old Callcards had advertising on them and they are more or less in the correct proportions. With a small bit of editing the chips can be removed from most of them I feel: https://www.irishcallcards.net/callcards-gallery?orderBy=card_no&orderHow=asc&limit=0&categories=telecom-eireann-callcards%2C I would be surprised if many of these didn't also appear as is on billboards given the almost identical aspect ratio. UK cards would provide a much wider source of "generic" ads with no specific Irish connection of course. UK cards are less work as they had no chip. Sometimes these cards had a reverse that requires no photoshopping skills at all: https://colnect.com/en/phonecards/phonecard/9706-Hudson_Blue-Chip_Cards_-_Series_A_Advertising_Cards-Eircom_Telecom_Éireann-Ireland Edited January 12, 2022 by murphaph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
