What makes a great demotivational poster
The demotivational poster is a parody of the corporate inspirational posters that hung in every office in the 1990s. The format is rigid and that's the joke: a jet-black background, a thin border, one dramatic photo, a single bold word in serif type, and a deadpan caption that undercuts it completely.
The best ones are specific and dry. "TEAMWORK: a few people doing all the work so the rest can take the credit" lands because everyone has lived it. Stuck for words? Browse our demotivational quote ideas — sorted by theme like meetings, Mondays, and ambition — and grab a line with a knife in it.
