Visual cues leverage human attention and perception to guide user behavior and direct focus toward specific elements. Understanding how the visual system processes information enables designers to create more effective call-to-action experiences.
Human attention follows predictable patterns:
| Pattern | Use For | CTA Placement | |---------|---------|---------------| | F-Pattern | Text-heavy content | First 2 paragraphs, subheadings | | Z-Pattern | Visual/landing pages | Bottom-right (terminal area) | | Gutenberg | General pages | Top-left (start), bottom-right (end) |
| Topic | File | When to Use | |-------|------|-------------| | Eye patterns & gaze | context/gaze-patterns.md | F-pattern, Z-pattern, thumb zones | | Visual cue types | context/visual-cue-types.md | Arrows, gaze direction, encapsulation | | CTA design | context/cta-design.md | Button color, copy, placement |
| Color | Effect | Best For | |-------|--------|----------| | Red | Urgency, action | Limited time CTAs | | Orange | Friendly, confident | Sign ups, trials | | Green | Safety, growth | Positive actions | | Blue | Trust, professional | B2B, financial | | Purple | Premium, creative | Luxury products |
