I have to thank the folks over at The Agitator for the inspiration for this post. Jerry Huntsinger did a guest post about the use of eyecontact and online pages.
For years, as a direct mailer and print designer, I’ve known the value of good eye contact. You can see I even utilized it on my home page (thanks to my daughter Evelyn). My mom has even criticized me because she feels I crop my personal photos too tight – but I’ve reminded her – “Mom – all the emotion is in the eyes – and I want people to feel it.”
Here are some examples.
Read The Agitator post here for how it applies to online.
Never forget – the eyes are the window to the soul – they say more than words often can. Don’t be afraid to use that power in your communcations.
I believe that too, and have taught it to my graphics and drawing classes time and again. The eyes have it.
Thanks for credibility in what we do as artists and designers.
Thanks for your comment Dolores…
