Visual Impact
I came across this image when I visited my daughter’s blog this morning. The link led to another site with humorous images of various animals. The one above really caught my eye.
This is a good example of visual impact. The central focus is of course the cat’s head between the buns, then the caption. This is when the point (or pun in this case) becomes obvious.
How well you design a website will be the controlling factor for the visual impact a visitor gets when they see it for the first time.
Imagery, focus, layout, and content all contribute to the overall effect you are working for.
Remember that when designing a page or site, it’s how your site’s visitors will see and comprehend it that will ultimately be the deciding factor in it’s success.
What do you think good visual impact should be?
