Everywhere we look we see elements of design. With industrial design, we see civil engineering, we see art, and we see architecture. We see it in every single aspect of our lives. What we don\u2019t know about design is that it lays the foreground for decisions. As much as one thinks that they are completely independent in their choice, there is an influence affecting the outcome.<\/p>\n
This kind of sway is rooted deep in the psychology of why and how we make decisions. That, overwhelmingly, exists in design. Have you ever passed by an advertisement every day? Of course, you have. People pass 3D signage<\/a> all the time. It gets to the point where if you pass by a restaurant\u2019s ad and you\u2019re craving burgers, there\u2019s a statistically significant chance that you will choose the burger that you see every day. You don\u2019t even have to be aware that the ad exists. It can be completely subconscious.<\/p>\n The new forefront of advertising is with three-dimensional ads. You know, the ones that you see for video games and Internet promos. Those same principles can be applied to anything. Gone are the days where one can just throw an ad copy to a flat image. We want things that pop. We want things that catch your eye in a way that is both appealing and otherworldly. This is why 3-D ads are so powerful.<\/p>\n You can be flipping or scrolling and stop just to admire the artwork. There\u2019s a level of futurism and fantastical layout that is simply beautiful. Do you want a giant shoe against the background of the city? 3-D can make that happen. Do you want an image of your favorite cartoon characters popping out of a TV screen? 3-D can make that impact for you. Three-dimensional art and design make for demographic-bending and fun pieces. This is perfect for advertising in the modern age.<\/p>\n Here, we will explore the basic principles of design as applied to 3-D advertisements. We\u2019ll look at how the hours and hours put into refining these principles make for a superior product. Lastly, we will take a look at the psychological impact of these ads, and how it relates to the expansion of the business. These tools are extremely powerful. Some of them are not quite understood yet. But the undeniable truth is that if you use them, they will up your sales numbers better than any kind of flat image on a glossy, forgotten page.<\/p>\n Advertising is essentially target communication. It\u2019s Conveying an idea through different mediums in speech. Although moving ads and commercials employ speech, basic designs as applied to 3-D advertisements, or primarily visual conversations. Because of this, the concept of visual syntax becomes very important. The visual syntax<\/a> is the straight line between what the designer wants and what the audience perceives. Between the two is the art itself and what the audience sees. It is then that the audience formed their interpretation and conclusion based on what is presented to them.<\/p>\n This poses a bit of a conundrum that we often see in the design. Can the designer accurately deliver what is in their head? Can the intent that the designer wants to put out there consistently hit the right interpretation points? This is the core of visual syntax. So when it comes to 3-D ads, you still need to employ this basic notion. Just because the technology is improved doesn\u2019t mean that communication has changed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Principles In Motion<\/h2>\n
