Humor Works

Well, I really like this one website, http://pzrservices.typepad.com, and how humor can really play a part in advertising. For one, it immediately grabs our attention and gets us to think outside of the box in a more relaxed manner rather than a rational or irrational manner. In order to maintain a "fresh idea" outlook, one must constantly scan their surroundings and question everything. One must try to visualize from another persons perspective or that of a 4-year olds, you know? Being simplistically clever is not always an easy thing because there are so many bad ideas in our brains that we need to release from time to time. Taking a stroll through a park or walking through busy intersections at night might bring forth some ambiguous ideas. I don't know, don't stand in one spot--navigate everywhere.

These are funny and cute. A good way to take a different perspective on things.

Yeah I agree sometimes when I need inspiration I go back nature and see if something motivates me or just look at stuff online and do research. Inspiration can just come from anywhere. Great finding

I agree that humor is effective in the designs. The first impression is called "Hallow Effect," which plays an important role in design and ads.
