These chapters overall cover the importance of having functional and visually appealing design. Social Media, Websites, and mobile applications all should carry a brand and a level of consistency that integrate them in a way that the user can figure out what the message is. The chapters also stress the importance of usability. Even if you have the best laid out interface it should be simple to use because if people don’t feel it is they will not use your apps and not support your brand.

I particularly like the idea of unconventional advertising all together because it unites the brand in an interesting way that side steps possibilities of ignoring the ad and makes the general public have to face your advertisement.

In the below bus advertisement they use visuals to grab your attention because it looks like a snake is actually wrapped around the bus. It gets your attention and then you read the ad for the zoo in the middle of the bus. If this would have just been an advertisement as a poster on the bus it probably wouldn’t have been as successful.
