Joy
Joy – as an emotion of elation, inspiration and delight… triggering a smile… a precious moment of letting go the pressures and worries of the day while opening up to capture the message and ideally respond to it in a favorable and most natural way – this Joy is definitely part of what our Web Graphics strive to express. It’s a matter of giving, reaching and receiving.
While we all love Joy – or happiness as we call it – and this deep wish is reflected in each song, each poem, novel, movie and even in a decadent piece of chocolate… only few actually reach it.
To me, there’s Joy and Laughter all around us… in little things in Nature that just need to be seen and felt… opening our hearts in a big way!
Joy on Google
I came across two Joy Quotes I really like, especially as I so much respect the great minds behind them:
The Buddha teaches us:
“We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them. ”
And this is from Mother Teresa: ” Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.”
Interestingly, when looking up “Joy” on Google there are around 140 million returns, just one paid ad that really made me laugh, and while even the Wiktionary seems to be short of explanations for Joy as a state of being… unless referring to names, what comes up are Joy for Mining Machinery, programming language, carpets, radio stations, books, bands, quotes… and yes, Merriam-Webster gets to the roots in the 13th century for this source of delight by describing it as “… the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by… the prospect of possessing what one desires”.
Captivating Web Graphics
Which brings us straight back to our objective in this article: the importance of captivating web graphics and attractive images on websites and blogs – be it for online advertising or just accompanying editorials and posts - to attract and envelop visitors with that pleasant feeling that accompanies “… the prospect of possessing what one desires”.
In online marketing our prime objective is to give the customer what the customer wants or needs… and a successful way of doing so is by transporting our message – in other words the offer – through captivating web graphics that evoke Joy!
