To notice, or not to notice

Before designing a web page or any display whatsoever, one must first ask themselves one question: do you want your design to be noticed?

Seth Godin proposes this important question. The thing is if you want the information of your display to be noticed then your design has to be good but not overwhelming, however if you're showcasing your design, in an effort to reveal your talent, it is best to be eye-catching.

Remember that.
