Wise Tips from Failures

Sometimes, all it takes is someone to come up with a bright idea which, unforeseen and unchecked at the time of conception, runs into all kinds of semantic and situational goofiness. All you need is a quick glance at the myriad of entries on failblog, a long-running repository of the world’s weirdest and, depending on who is reading it, most offensive entries of wildly thought-up slogans, display signs, designs and whatnots.
Whether you’re into design school or public communication, it pays to visit the website once in a while to keep your imaginative mind in check. You never know what you might be creating, until it is too late. By then, your entry into Failblog would have been assured!
Taking a different approach is AdWeek’s Adfreak, another recommendable site that shows you what is right (and wrong) with advertising in mass communication. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know where the foulups are; actually if you are a rocket scientist, this is the wrong site to pick other people’s brains. 
Nevertheless, they make wonderful pastime reading, especially on that rainy, cloudy day when you just need a little bit of pick-me-up to keep the rest of the day going.
Thinking of producing your own video and upload it to YouTube? Better see where others have gone to avoid the same pitfalls.
