Attention

Woohoo, double post! *jumps around* Yea, sorry, Mr. M, blog's been kind of neglected. XD Alright, here's a picture for you guys:


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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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 "QuinceaƱera" on a birthday card is sure to catch attention as people won't understand what it means.
  3. 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.
I guess to summarize, to catch others' attention, be different, stand out. Yea, ciao peeps. =]
