Where does the eye look first?
Most content fails for one reason: everything shouts at once, so nothing lands. The method is simple — direct the glance, then let the detail follow. Flip the switch and watch what a real viewer actually sees.

Direct the one-second read.

Everything competes for attention at full volume.
