… but there’s a lot of doodling!!! I’m serious, doodling is so hot nowadays, that it shows up everywhere, including printed ads, billboards and even tv commercials. It’s hip, it’s fun and apparently – it works! If you check out the Ads of the World site, you’ll find a bunch of good examples:

Good work

Those doodles are very sad… but definitely attention-grabbing, which is the whole point of advertising, right?
