Class notes 3/16/10

We search for faces – that is hardwired into us

Then we look for the written text – this is a learned tendency

We look for the foreground and background and the difference between the two

Respect the users/viewer’s time by helping them figure out what parts of the image/design is important

Visual processes are determined by the primitive reptilian mind

The reptilian mind: “fight or flight” instinctual animal-like nature; not really associated with the rational mind

We look for differences - the thing that stands out the most
