View Full Version : Demotivators
T Paul 01-16-2005, 10:33 PM You have probably seen motivational photos is many office environments. Photos with titles such as TEAMWORK, QUALITY, and ACHIEVEMENT, and so on. Well there are also demotivators.
Check out this link (http://www.despair.com/index.html) if you need some ideas
Challenge: Create your own Demotivational Photo and caption.
Such as this: (http://www.despair.com/demotivators/med24x30prin.html)
A photo of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Caption: Mediocrity
It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.

I've always loved despair.com. I have a long-term sneaky plan to substitute the inspirational poster in our meeting room with one of theirs and see if anyone notices...
T Paul 01-17-2005, 09:48 AM Leah, LOL...I've always secretly wanted to do that as well!
CJ Swartz 12-08-2005, 03:39 PM Since I'd used my Tater Tot's image in another thread, when I saw this thread, I thought -- why not be lazy and use it again?!
Added text and stretched it out across the image, but didn't work too hard at getting it right, because I can always do it another day.... :wink: :tongue:
T Paul 12-08-2005, 04:22 PM Nicely done CJ!!! And extra double bonus points for being the first to tackle this challenge!!!
One suggestion, you might want to center the text...but hey you can always do it later ;)

Doug Nelson 05-03-2006, 08:44 AM Thanks. Making these is an excellent way to work off some excess cynicism.

T Paul 05-03-2006, 12:19 PM Glad to see this thread is finally catching on. I have been looking forward to seeing the entries!
T Paul 05-03-2006, 12:21 PM Swampy,
Looks like I missed your entry. Nicely done!
MinnGal,
Nice job! I like to see a different photo to go with your saying. The glass half empty or half full just doesn’t match. Hmmmm, trying to think of a good photo….
T Paul 05-03-2006, 12:22 PM ROFLMAO :bigthmb:
Doug, I think you found your true calling! I’m going to have to print out the Talent & Craftsmanship ones for my desk at work. All of them made me laugh though -- especially Serenity & Objectivity!

MinnGal 05-03-2006, 10:35 PM O.k.. here's one I thought a little harder on.. I agree that the glass half empty didn't really work... (or was it half full)...
Doug - just noticed the misspelling of perfect in the craftmanship poster.. Thought about correcting you.. but then decided.. Nice touch!
nanls - I couldn't agree more.......
Kraellin 05-03-2006, 10:55 PM you're enjoying this way too much, doug :)

This one's a bit of a stretch, but I loved the image (an old school desk).
In case anyone is wondering (and no one is), I'm just going to http://www.sxc.hu and hitting their Randomizer button over and over until I see something that disinspires me.
Doug Nelson 05-04-2006, 11:45 AM This whole Doodles subforum is filled with fun tasks like these, so feel free to browse the other threads and resurrect any that strike your fancy (as Minngal did for this thread).
In case anyone is wondering (and no one is)...
I was! :nod: :nod:
