30 Funny Print Ads that’ll Make You Laugh
In the world of print advertising, there’s a small window to grab the audience’s attention. Being restricted to a still image means the message must be very strong and catchy. Ad agencies often rely on humor to achieve this. A humorous print ad campaign starts with a funny idea, but must be brought to life with clever art direction and great visuals.

March 18, 2010All of these print ads are very inspiring and creative. The designs have very little time to grab the customers attention so must be hard-hitting and eye catching. All of the above examples have this impact.
This kind of thing is the opposite to web design, where users are encouraged to navigate the site and enjoy the whole experience.

March 18, 2010Thanks for the morning laugh. Had to send these around. With the flood of advertising into our every day lives, I have noticed most people, unless told to look carefully and read the ad, will completely miss the funny message and situation.
