I’ll occasionally find inspiration in the oddest places, I’ll try to share them here with you, please feel free to share where you feel inspired or are inspired.
I’ve been traveling a lot lately and on a recent flight from Milwaukee to Philly on Midwest Airlines, I read through their magazine.
I found an ad that got me thinking. It’s from Dodge County, I didn’t even know where Dodge County is located, I assumed it’s in Wisconsin, but it is in Nebraska, I had to look it up, but the ad was very clever.
Headline:
Refresh with Dodge County
Remember when Menus were about food?
Remember when Plug-ins were electrical outlets?
Remember when Browsers were looking in store windows?
It made me wonder, especially as a web designer, how many terms the online world has “borrowed” from the English Language? “Tabs” used to be in binders, “Windows” were for looking through. “Scrolls” were what monks wrote on … etc.
Do you have any examples? Kudos to Dodge County and www.fdcvb.org … maybe I’ll refresh there next time I’m in Nebraska.
Until next time, Tim
