40 Seriously Funny Print Ads
Print ads need to get a message across with a single image and without the recourse of interactivity that we find today on the Internet.
In today’s world of interactive web-based marketing, viral campaigns and high production television commercials, the print ad remains one very powerful and effective means for advertisers to reach their audience.
The printed format, whether it is for magazines, newspapers or billboards, sets specific challenges for ad designers.
