6.1.3.1. While in Tomorrowland, I saw a poster for the ride "Space Mountain". Hearing the name, it didn't spark my attention because it didn't mention Mickey and space doesn't interest me very much either.

6.1.3.3. The astronaut displayed in his space craft looked like he was coming towards you! He looked like he was going so fast he was going to come off the page.
6.1.3.3.1. It was this STAR MOMENT, that made me realize how much influence a visual graphic can have on the mind.
