Article Abstract:

New Art Directors Club president Bill Oberlander, in a lecture called The Big Picture, has convincingly argued that the importance and power of advertising design is increasing, while that of verbal copy is decreasing. He advocates making visual elements the primary focus of ads because they reach the consumer on a deeper level and faster than written copy can.
