With commercial visual stimuli being pervasive and more than half of the human brain devoted to processing them, Visual Marketing should be part of the mindset of every marketer, and of the marketing curriculum of every business school. The new book by Barbarah Kahn and Zab Johnson effectively pulls together the foundational literatures from vision, psychology, neuroscience, and marketing, to present a comprehensive and accessible account of the principles of Visual Marketing, and how they should be used to influence consumer behavior. The book is a must read for marketing students and practitioners, and fun and interesting to read for everyone else.
