Messaging
I’m no web designer, but feel like one of the most key concepts to any website, print ad or medium, is the amount of messages thrown at a viewer / user with each eye-load. Not sure if anyone’s done any research about this, but I really feel like there’s something to the idea of defining design messages, scientifically. For example, If something is large with text only, it’s sending the “this is important editorial” message, but if it’s rectangular shaped, it sends the “this is an advertisement” message.
Anyone have any leads on scientific research?
