ADVERTISEMENTS-IMAGES SUPPORTED BY WORDS

You’ve heard it so many times before: “A picture is worth a thousand words.”  Well, how much is a smartly put together picture that contains words as well?  An image such as this can be priceless to a company, for example.  Not only does a picture with words advertise, if done in the right manner it shows the consumer that the company has a sense of humor.  Make a person laugh, and they will be more interested in the product then they previously were.  I personally enjoy advertisements that appear like someone actually put some thought into it.  The world is full of mindless advertisements.  If it weren’t, the Super Bowl commercials wouldn’t be such a big deal.  I believe social media such as this, can change a person’s day and it can remain in their thought processes for a while, it might even be a conversation piece.  The picture can be translated by itself, but when it’s accompanied by a short and to the point phrase, it hammers the message home.  Words without image sparks up an imagination.  An image without words leaves the mind to create words.  An image with words leaves little to the imagination and leaves the mind satisfied.  I browse the Internet for hilarious images, and visuals that have been uniquely created.  I enjoy unique intelligence and I think the combination of words and images is a way to show that intelligence.  I hope to some day, design images that spark emotions and/or thoughts to the public masses.  I feel like fun advertisements are a great way to influence people, by humor and smarts.
