Billboard design:
Fact of Life #1 – We don’t read pages, we scan them.
1. We’re usually in a hurry
Save as much time as possible, must keep them moving toward the end result of what they want to obtain… much like sharks need to keep moving.
2. Know that we don’t NEED to read everything.
We just need the bits that will give us the necessary information to keep our interest and the rest is irrelevant.
3. We’re good at it
Force of habit… our normal routine with almost everything we read involves scanning.
Fact of Life #2 – We don’t make optimal choices; we sacrifice - Choose the first reasonable option. (They don’t compare options; they take the first reasonable plan that comes to mind.)
1. We’re usually in a hurry
2. There’s not much of a penalty
