I don't know why I really care too much about stuff such as this but doea a yellow box acting as a marker highlight fulfill the task of an emotional connection to the reader of the magazine? This little element is everywhere in design, most notably in magazines (I just saw it in GQ of all places). I think it's implemented because we as humans demand a personal connection these days (and we probably really need it too). It's not really that personal however when it's uber generic and used by all.
I'm realizing I'm more of a graphic designer than I ever imagined I'd be when the placement of yellow boxes in a magazine spread is what keeps me awake at night and compels me to blog,
This entry is not important at all, I just have a huge pet peeve when context, in any situation, and of the smallest detail, is not considered.
