Eye-Catchers

The clear and simple use of colors and shapes is also reflected in the design of eye-catcher. To not overload the layout, the use of the eye-catcher is reduced.

Eye-Catcher variations

We want to keep all layouts clean, structured and not overcrowded. To highlight the key product benefit and the launch of a new product you can make use of an eye catcher. There are two types of eye catchers available. Only ever one of each type can be used, however both types can appear in combination.
Three examples of three different eye-catcher graphics (colorful circles with text in them).
Standard eye-catcher

To highlight one single-minded key product benefit it's possible to integrate a single eye-catcher, which is placed on the packshot. The eye-catchers have a fixed form and a pre-defined use of colors and types.

A small red box with the word "NEW" in it. It is to be used when launching new products.
"NEW" eye-catcher

Use this eye-catcher to indicate a new product (launch)

  • Rectangular shape with rounded corners
  • Color is always HARTMANN Red
  • The eye-catcher is always placed in front of the product or packshot

Color usage within the Plus design

Since Plus designs always use Cyan as their background color, Cyan is not available for eye-catchers appearing in this context.

Important

Please note, if it’s not necessary to highlight the key product benefit, or the launch of a new product, please do not integrate any eye-catcher and keep the layout simple and not overcrowded.

It is possible to combine several eye-catchers with each other.
