This is a WEB PAGE. This is the DESIGN upon the web page. The
DESIGN is to help SELL another web page. We hope to draw your attention to it
and encourage you to go there. When you have done that maybe
you'll be persuaded to look at some images - in this case images from XTC's
Nonsvch album. Then we want you to COLOUR them. The idea being that the more of
you that colour them the more accesses Dave Franson can report. To the
aforementioned this is known as PLEASURE. A good web page DESIGN is one that
attracts more internauts and gives more pleasure. This writing is trying to
pull you in much like an eye-catching picture. It is designed to get you to
READ IT. This is called luring the VICTIM, and you are the VICTIM. But if you
have a free mind you should STOP READING NOW! because all we are attempting to
do is to get you to read on. Yet this is a DOUBLE BIND because if you indeed
stop you'll be doing what we tell you, and if you read on you'll be doing what
we've wanted all along. And the more you read on the more you're falling for
this simple device of telling you exactly how a good commercial design
works. They're TRICKS and this is the worst TRICK of all since it's describing
the TRICK whilst trying to TRICK you, and if you've read this far then you're
TRICKED but you wouldn't have known this unless you'd read this far. At least
we're telling you directly instead of seducing you with a beautiful or haunting
visual that may never tell you. We're letting you know that you ought to colour
these images because in essence they're PRODUCTS and PRODUCTS are to be
consumed and you are a consumer and this is a good PRODUCT. We could have
written the images' names in special lettering so that they stood out and you'd
see them before you'd read any of this writing and possibly have coloured them
anyway. What we are really suggesting is that you are FOOLISH to colour or not
colour the images merely as a consequence of the design on this web page. This
is a con because if you agree then you'll probably like this writing - which is
the web page design - and hence the colourings on the XTC Nonsvch
Colouring Book. But we've just warned you against that. The con is a
con. A good web page design could be considered as one that gets you to link to
more pages, but that never actually happens to YOU because YOU know it's just a
design for the web page. And this is the WEB PAGE.
