Though hundreds of Print Ads are made each year to promote various products, not many can be considered successful based on the response of both the critics and the general public. People have seen so many advertisements that they’ll be quick to blast unoriginal or overused concepts. They also expect witty and powerful copy. For budding graphic artists trying to make a name for themselves in the field of advertising, it is essential to find out what particular formulas have worked or failed in the past. And of course, the only way to do so is check out other works that have gotten the nod of critics and audience alike.
Something that has been present for a lot of successful print ads is the element of humor. While it isn’t really necessary, ads injected with humor, whether it be a form of sarcasm or just a clever joke, will most likely be remembered and talked about by the audience. We have compiled 48 of the funniest print ads made in recent years for your inspiration and sheer entertainment. Enjoy! “It works.” “One life for a biscuit.” ” What you leave out of Facebook, put it into Gold’s Gym.” “Polo “Avoid disappointing results.” “Go back in time. “Fall asleep easily.” “iPod..I’m your father.” “Granny’s fries without the Granny” “You never know how big of a problem you will find. “Can’t stop driving.” “When sleeping is not an option.” “Tea from a time when men were men and women were kind of like what men are now.” “Get her back. “Beautiful taps.” “LG Optimus 3D Smartphone. For more realistic pictures.” “Self-Hypnosis “Natural protection.” “4 million bucks. The New year Jackpot.” “Protect your dreams” “Thames “Avoid surprises “We teach that tricky area between 2 and 3.” “24/7 Sports Channel “Stubborn stains?” “Luxury car rental” “Group shots, without group efforts. “15 square kilometer of rain forest disappears every minute.” “Upper Row (From left to right): Reads other people’s mail, leaves early, keeps alcohol in the drawer, steals office supplies. ” All your teeth back in just 24 hours.” “It’s summertime in London. “Born to create drama” “Fast repairs” “Ultimate care for your car at Kia Service.” “Give back her dreams “RO4541 Silence Force “Did you mean? battleship”DULCOLAX: RATS

The technology behind high speed photography was developed by German weapons scientists during the First World Ward to aid in arms research and development. Today, there are several methods one can use to take high speed photographs, but all of them basically involve very fast shutter or camera sensor speeds.
Our eyes, while being incredible machines on their own, suffer from certain limitation in terms of speed and our brains are not capable of accurately recognising fast-moving objects. That’s why things in motion appear as a blur to us, and on slower cameras. With the right equipment however, we can unlock worlds that have been right in front of us all along.
These 25 high speed photos are but some of the more awe-inspiring shots out there! High speed photos tend to capture our imaginations because a lot of the time, we are just *really* seeing things for what they are for the very first time. Scroll down to see:
