Blog 1

Getting to think about what kind of images cue a reaction on me has never been a thought in my head. Thinking about it now, there are different things that attract my attention. Usually it could be the colors used. For example, the use of many up-beat colors or simply using few colors that contrast but go well together, make me feel positive and attracted  to that certain item. Another thing that attracts my attention is whether the image uses sport related ideas. Growing up, sports were a big part of my life, specially tennis, water polo, swim and now recently soccer. I find myself unconsciously more intrigued when a tennis player appears or when I see the picture of a water polo ball. However, on the other hand, there are things that definitely repel me, like the use of alcohol in images or of black and white together.  These little details I believe make me more prone to liking certain media and disliking others.  For example, if I were to see two pictures, one picture of a grassy field with a nice blue sky and another picture with a black background and white letters, I will definitely turn my attention to the first picture because of the details I prefer over others.
