History really could use more superheroes. In the crazy times we’ve witnessed in the last century, from revolutions galore, to the World Wars and nations wielding nuclear power, the thought of having someone super powered standing guard is a welcome thought. These photos bring that reality to life, placing superheroes in iconic vintage photographs alongside famous figures from history — Heinrich Himmler getting a lecture from Captain America, Superman protecting art treasures from looters and Batman looking over the shoulder of Fidel Castro. It’s not all perfect though… it seems you get your super villains along with your heros. Darth Vader hangs out at the meeting of Yalta with Stalin, FDR and Winston Churchill and the Joker messes with the SS.
Who’s responsible for these historical remixes? Agan Harahap, a photographer from Indonesia, has seamlessly inserted the pop culture icons into these major world events in such a way that you’d almost believe they really happened. The shadows match up, the interactions look genuine, it’s really a perfect job. For more about Harahap’s work, which includes a host of other digital photo manipulations, check out his Flickr page.
This campaign, “Become Someone Else” by the Lithuanian Agency called Love for Mint Vinetu is a clever concept, well executed. Here is what they said about it,
“When one reads books, he/she starts living it and identifies (or not) with main hero. These print ads for the Mint Vinetu bookstore, which sells lots of classics, focuses on the idea of becoming someone else. And provokes people to try on different personas.”

Megan Matsuoka made this poster as part of a self-imposed challenge called 100 Posters in 100 Days. “To boost my creativity, practice my design skills, and learn to not over think too much - I’ve set myself a goal to create a 100 Posters in 100 Days,” she says. “I have chosen to use inspirational quotes as my content.”
Her only rule was that she had to create each one within an hour.
