![]() ![]() There is no formula for what the most important part is, you just have to split-test your way to figure it out! DON’T: Get too extreme The hierarchy will change depending on the goal(s) of the ad. What’s most important for each particular ad? In order to best grab your customers’s attention with your ad, you need to select what in your ad you want to direct most of their attention to. Be sure the user sees what you want them to see in the order you want them to see it. Items, and whitespace before clustered items.ĭon’t make the important parts small, and the less important parts big. When designing your ad, it’s not just important you consider what to include-how you present the elements you choose to include is just as important.įor instance, the user will generally notice: light before darkness, color before grayscale, sharp before blurry, large before small If users aren’t watching or interacting with your ad, it’s usually because either you haven’t spent enough time on the design or you’re targeting the wrong demographic. The ultimate and by far most effective way to grab someone’s attention is to talk to people who actually want to hear what you have to say.
