This thought crossed my mind long ago. People are sent subliminal messages through the Television or posters like these for the sole reason of making money. Goes on to show that just a little modification in an image can do so much difference.
I found it funny rather than cruel :P

I've always thought about this. What if someone made a political campaign for a candidate and posted pictures with slight and unnoticeable modifications that make the picture anti-appealing but at the same time looks properly marketed? It could lead a politician to ruin through the art of subliminal messages while leaving the designer free from consequences.
they'd never pay for it. the experiments are always frown upon in that strata ;)
Oh, no, I didn't mean knowingly. They would never knowingly pay for it, I meant as in, they pay someone respectable to do an expectably good job, and the job that comes out is great, except that there is a slight distortion that no one knows why, but it looks kinda evil or retarded. But as no one knows why, they just go with "the design is absolutely fabulous and this designer got my dad and aunt and best friend into power so let's run with it".
But yeah, I get it that proofwatching would avoid this and you'd get your arse kicked for making such creepy design choices for a client.
of course, i was being ironic :D
How could I miss that. xD
