The printed format, whether it is for magazines, newspapers or billboards, sets specific challenges for ad designers. An idea or message must be communicated simply and swiftly, it must be eye-catching enough to grab the viewer’s attention and convey the important information in an instant. When a print designer employs humour to carry this information, the result can be become a visual ‘one-liner’, a joke that speaks the message the ad intends. This post brings together 30 hilarious print ads that combine great imagery with cracking comedy.

The Prioritization of Design

stephenhulldesign — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 18:21:36 +0000

When we design we have a hierarchy that we are responsible to, which is what drives us to deliver a great design. In this way, there are three groups that we effectively owe the design to. And while most of the community would agree on the three areas that we are beholden to, many of us completely prioritize them differently. Those that we owe the design or are responsible to are the client, the users, and last but certainly not least the design itself, its goals and purpose.

Naturally there are many factors that impact how we tend to prioritize them, but these are the proverbial lord and masters of our projects. The instillers of purpose in our design endeavors. Besides just being points of priority, these areas also tend to play a heavy part in the outcome and overall effectiveness of the design. So today we are going to take a look at these areas of design priority and see if we can determine which is the best hierarchy to work by.
