Put on a smiley face
One of the commonest acronyms spawned by the Internet generation, the letters “lol” stand for “laughing out loud” and are used in computer-generated communications such as e-mail and texting to indicate that the sender finds something funny (which often elicits a “smiley face” emoticon in reply). As any stand-up comedian will tell you, making people laugh is one of the most satisfying creative experiences you can have – and rare is the designer who does not at some point in his or her career feel the urge to tickle their viewers’ funny-bone.
Being funny can be hard work, but the rewards are well worth the effort. This issue presents the illustrated thoughts of 11 top designers who all have a talent to amuse.
