Advertising tells people about a product or service and it usually focuses on the good parts of it in an effort to get people to buy it. The "Z" Form: select any of the ads to demonstrate how eyes track over an ad. According to one theory, if you learned to read left-to-right, your eyes will scan over the page from left-to-right in a "Z" form unless a design element directs your attention elsewhere. Marketing firms use this theory to place ad elements where they will catch your eyes. There will be an element to lead your eyes in, something catchy in the middle, and the logo or message will frequently appear in the lower-middle area to the right. Light Works: Human eyes tend to look towards a lighter color. Where are the lighter colors? Or is light color used to draw the eye to the product? |
