Calls-to-action
The hard fact is that they just don’t care.
Or more precisely, they don’t care yet. They’re interested, but they do not know enough to care. We have not given them enough of a reason to care. They are not ready to take that step.
A good read on “why you should bury your sign up button”. I’ve considered similar things as of recent. When someone tells me to “make it pop so it stands out and people will click it” I think, the user isn’t stupid (well, mostly) and making things “pop” more is just not going to make them click it. They know it’s there. They will click it if you make them want the product, not because the call-to-action button is fire-engine-read (as the article puts it).
You don’t need to “bury” the sign up button exactly, but you certainly don’t need to pull out every visual cue under the sun to try get people clicking.
Take my money.
“A map of emotions.”
“A realistic portrait.”

Guidelines: you should probably follow them.

ESPIONAGE GALLERY | Suite 1, Level 2, 93 Rundle Mall, Adelaide 5000
The Espionage Gallery is a little space located on Rundle Mall, just off Lindes Lane, and at just only 90-square-metres, the gallery exhibits the art of Adelaide-based artists for a one-month period, with the most prominent features being that of the gallery directors, Joshua Smith and Gary Seaman.
The gallery is currently displaying the works of Joshua Smith, in the exhibition, 300.
“The exhibition features almost 20 large scale works all priced at the set price of only $300 each. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to get your hands on some of Josh’s work at very cheap price. Most of the works on display are usually valued at $800+”
I have always admired Smith’s street art work, and above are just some of the pieces I have found around the Adelaide CBD. It would be a dream to own one of his pieces, but alas, I cannot…
As well as exhibitions, the gallery also often holds workshops. Their most current workshop is a one-off, 5-hour Basic Stencil Workshop, where individuals “learn the fundamentals of stencil art and learn how to cut 1 and 2 layer stencils. All materials privided including canvas, stencil cutting plastic, cutting knife and paint.” Though the website declares that registrations for the workshop are now closed, Renew Adelaide project, Studio Lingo, has suggested that the Adelaide Festival Centre club, Green Room, is still
looking for 5 young artists aged between 16 – 30 to partake in these workshops.
And as well as all of this wonderful stuff, the gallery also holds Friday Night Art Markets, where, on the second Friday of every month, they showcase and sell the work of local artists, designers, ceramicists, glass blowers and jewellery designers.
Past gallery exhibitors include Joel VDK, Chris Edser, Kate Gagliardi and Eliza Mazzone.
