The four hot spots .............................................................................
A Web page contains four “hot spots.” These locations are where you should
try to center your focal point. See if you don’t think that Figure 8-13 is an
improvement over Figure 8-11, now that the dancer has been moved to a hot
spot:Try moving the focal point to one of the other hot spots; you’ll see that it
looks good in those locations as well. Remember, you’ve got four hot spots
to experiment with. In Figure 8-14, the dancer is positioned in the upper-left
hot spot. Also notice that the dancer has been reversed from her position in
Figure 8-13, so she dances into the page in Figure 8-14. If you have motion
(an arrow, a dancer, anything that points or moves), ensure that the motion
moves into, not out of, your page. The focal point is the first thing the viewer
sees, and it should lead the eye into the page.Figure 8-14:
