. From these results you can tell that different people view things in certain way according to what they expect to see, they often compare them to other posters or magazines that they have read. This means that everything you do will always have an aspect that could be improved as something else will always have a better quality of that aspect. However it also means that what you create will have aspects that are better than other magazines or poster making yours different and effective.
