Workshop brief: Using Humor to Trascend Social Restrictions and Create Dialog: Creating a Common Language with Laughs

Visuals that cross barriers and inspire someone to laugh can be very powerful. Having someone laugh while making that person THINK can be even more powerful and create  something magical. Cary Murnion will be talking about how laughter inspired to start Honest, how it carries through in their own work a full 12 years later, and dissecting some of the work that most ispires them. He will figure out what are the elements that make these projects successful. He will also present some spectacular failures that ended up creating laughter without even trying. Together we'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll learn. Honest.
