Wow, eye-catching huh? Taking a look at the rather bland and monotone blog, it struck me. What catches people's attention? What makes them stop, take a second look and go, "Woah".
Well, a few factors that snags others attention.
- First and foremost of course is the fact that anything extraordinary will watch people's attention. Something that stands out, for example, these colourful lights amid the monotone colours.
- Another example is by using something that people won't normally shrug off. Human nature is to usually overlook things that we dub as normal or commonplace. Using a word such as "Quinceañera" on a birthday card is sure to catch attention as people won't understand what it means.
- Another way of course, is to relate on a level people will understand. If you as a speaker, begin lecturing about quantum physics in a Markeing lecture, you'll find that the people in your audience will very quickly lose attention as they won't know what you're talking about.
