Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
While designing banner advertising for women ethnic apparel designer prefer
that for a strong communication or appeal photographs play a critical role.
Celebrity endorsements are also quite persuasive for this purpose followed by
abstract images which may interest many. But clip arts are definitely not a
sensible choice while designing banner ads for ethnic apparels. Product
image plays a vital role to generate inquisitiveness among viewers leading to
a purchase intent or information seeking mode. Most of the designers agree
upon this unanimously. It is highly advisable to have a meaningful &
communicative product image for better performance of the banner ads. In an
offer & deal driven market many designers concur that even without a product
image a banner ad can attract viewers solely on the basis of content. Also
significant number of designers disagrees with this proposition. One important
thing to be taken into consideration is that a known brand can attract viewers
easily just with the branding & offer content. But a not-so-popular brand may
need product image along with the branding to attract viewers & also build the
brand. Its mean that Images not only attract consumer attention it also built
brand identity of the company.
Talk about call to action button which is very important part of banner ad, from
the above observation it seems that most preferable location for call-to-action
button is the position after the copy of the ads. This is followed by corner
position of the banner ad & under the logo position. These choices by the
designers refer to the most effective position of the buttons which would be
visible to the viewers & also would not intrude into the creative content of the
banner ads.

Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
From the above graphs observation it can be infer that when it come about
interactivity in banner advertisement majority of respondents have a strong
opinion that animated ads shall perform better than static ads. There are
chances of static ad showing good results owing to better design & content.
And that is why few of the respondents disagree with the opinion.
In line with the previous response once again most of the respondents agree
that animated ads would outperform static banner ads in case of ethnic
apparel promotion. There is a strong disagreement among the designers that
animation banner ads disturb the viewing experience. But some of the
respondents suggest that animation does distract the message of the banner
ads. It means that animated or dynamic ads are playing an essential role in
web banner ads to attract the consumer response. Considering the earlier
responses about animation in banner ads it would be advisable to go with
animated ads for better efficacy of the banner campaign.

Introduction
From the above both data analysis and observation i.e. perception of graphic
design about design elements of advertising when design banner ads and its
impact on consumer responses following interpretation has been made and
on the basis of the interpretation the research hypothesis has been tested
which are given below.
a. Age group
As per the study” Impact of design elements of web banner ads on consumer
response” it is observed that from the table no.( 4.2.1) all my research
respondents are female, predominantly in the age group of 21 to 35 and it
comprises 85% of them.
b. Occupation
From the graph no. (4.2 .2) and table no.( 4.2 .2)it has been seen that the
highest number of 38 ( 49%) respondents are working class women who have
the scope and reason for shopping ethnic apparels and at the second position
24 ( 31%) of respondents are students. They have a reasons to shop ethnic
wear and also aware of the latest famous and trend prevalent in the market.
223
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
c. Family income
According to the above graph no. 3 and table no.3 maximum number of 18
(23%) of respondents income is 9-11 lakh. From the above graph it can be
infer that the sample for this research belong to various strata of the society.
d. Internet use
From the above graph no. (4.2 .4) and table no. (4.2 .4) it has been seen that
From the above graph no. (4.2 .6) it is imperative that the most preferred
reasons consumer browse internet is for social communication, through
channels like Facebook, twitter etc and that further continues with the choice
of chatting at the third position of preference. So a combined 34% of
respondents rank or uses internet for social activities, online shopping is a
second most preferred choice for regular internet use with 17% share of
response. At fourth place is information gathering with 17% of responses, also
aids the process of decision making which may lead to online shopping. So
analyzing the result we can infer two broad factors namely social activities
and online shopping are dominant in the responses with almost equal share
34% each. People who are equally active online tend to buy online as they
may share their buying expanses, opinion and suggestion among the social
media platforms. From the graph no. (4.2.7) it has been seen that Almost 60%
of the respondents shop online in the frequency of 1-3 months. As part of the
study the sampling has been optimum, 95% of the respondents have
experience shopping online for women ethnic apparel, and among the
224
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
respondents from table no. (4.2.9) Flipkart is the most preferred online
shopping destination for women ethnic wear with 29% of the share. It is
closely followed by Myntra with 23% of share. Thus we can infer that due to
large collection, wide Varity and better service both the above players rule the
online women ethnic wear online market.
From the above graph no. (4.1. A) and table no. (4.1. A) it is seen that in the
perception of graphic designer banner ads are the most popular 28 (82%)
medium for online advertising and have better visual effect and reach among
viewers. Also based on graph no.(4.2.10) it is imperative that web banner ads
are very effective communication tools, since 95% of the female respondents
notice web banner ads when they browse online. In addition to that 62% of
them gets attracted by the ad and eventually end-up clicking the banner to
view the product offering. It is also to be noted that one fourth of the
respondents does not prefer the ads and avoid clicking them. Through this we
can infer that there lies a scope of improvement in the banner ads to win back
these viewers through attractive communication design which makes them
attractive.
While Design web banner ads for women ethnic apparel designers suggested
that colors are one of the visual elements of web banner advertising which
played vital role in communication, in which based on graph no. (4.1.B) 71
percent of designers accepted that warm color being the right choice to
capture viewer’s attention. While in the time of selecting colors based on
graph no. (4.1. C) 64% of designers mean that it is appropriate to incorporate

Hence the above discussion has been proved the first hypothesis of this study
that “colors are one of the visual elements of web banner advertising to
influence consumer attitude.”
On the basis of the observation of graph no.( 4.1. H) & (4.1. I), while designing
web banner ads designer consider that shape and forms helps in defining the
image in banner ads in which they prefer mostly realistic forms and horizontal
presentation to depict product image but sometimes they choose geometric
forms but abstract form is a no go by the entire group. In this scenario,
selecting whether to follow the shape & form for image depends entirely on
the product & the choice of designers. Whereas on the basis of the
226
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
It is observed from the graph no.16 that 95% consumer preferred banner with
images option. Similarly according to the observation of graph no (4.1. N),
(4.1. O), & (4.1. P) it is infer that while designing banner advertising for ethnic
apparel graphic designer preferred that for strong communication or appeal
photography play a critical role. Celebrity endorsements are also quite
persuasive for this purpose followed by abstract images which may interest
many. But clip arts are definitely not a sensible choice while designing banner
ads. Product image plays a vital role to generate inquisitiveness among
viewers leading to a purchase intent or information seeking mode. Most of the
designers agree upon this unanimously. It is highly advisable to have a
meaningful and communicative product image for better performance of the
banner ads. In an offer & deal driven market many designers concur that even
without a product image a banner ad can attract viewers solely on the basis of
content. Also significant number of designers disagrees with this proposition.
One important thing to be taken into consideration is that a known brand can
attract viewers easily just with the branding & offer content. But a not-so-
popular brand may need product image along with the branding to attract
227
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
viewers & also build the brand. Its mean that Images not only attract
consumer attention it also built brand identity of the company.
Thus from the above discussion the third hypothesis of the study has been
proved positive that “The Perception of images or pictures is one of the visual
elements of advertising is directly related to attitude of consumer behavior
towards banner advertising.”
It is observed from the graph no. (4.1. K) i.e. “font’s psychology on banner
ads” graphic designer strongly consider that fonts psychology play a big role
in the efficacy of web banner advertising in which sans serif are being the
choice of many designers but on the basis of graph no. (4.1. L) most of the
designer prefers to have the liberty to choose their own fonts based on the
product and need of efficient communication. Also according to observation of
graph no.(M) higher number of designers agree to the fact that the font size
does invoke higher click through among the viewers. On the other hand to
know the impact of fonts and typography of web banner ads on consumer
response I have made four banner ads in which I have write content of the
ads in sans-serif type face and serif typeface. In sans-serif typeface I have
chosen Helvetica font and in serif typeface I have chosen Baskerville fonts.
Both the fonts are written in different way. Since typography has itself is very
important design elements in advertising and composition of fonts are also
mean very important. So I have composed the content of the banner ads in
four options. In option one I have put Helvetica light font and designed the
whole content with the help of lines because lines are useful for dividing
space and drawing the eye to a specific location so for grab the viewers
228
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
attention I have used lines to separate content, see option no1. In option 2 I
have put Baskerville font and composed in a same style as option 1 has
composed but here in option 2 the difference is that I have bold the middle
sentences of the content see option 2. And in option3, I have bold the
Helvetica font and kept the logo of FabIndia in a distance with a copy matter
similarly see option3. In option 4 same process I have done just bold the
Baskerville font and keep the logo in a distance see option 4. On the basis of
data analysis while observed the graph no.(4.217) “favored font style for
banner ads” it has been infer that most of the 72% respondents preferred
option 2 i.e. serif typeface Baskerville font. It is due to because of the
composition of the content is bold and clear than the other options. Due to the
boldness of the middle sentence of the content the size of fonts became big
and clear. The whole composition looked beautiful and communicative than
the other options. It proved that font’s style and its size attract the audience’s
eyesight and pursue audience to click the banner ads.
Thus from the above discussion the fourth hypothesis of the study has been
proved positive that the Perception of fonts or typography as one of the visual
element of Advertising is directly related to attitude of consumer behavior.
Considering the graph no. (4.1. R) it can be seen that when it come about
interactivity in banner advertisement majority of respondents have a strong
opinion that animated ads shall perform better than static ads. There are
chances of static ads showing good results owing to better design and content
and that is why few of the designers disagree with the opinion. In the line with
previous response on the basis of graph no. (4.1. S) once again most of the
229
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
designers agree that animated ads would outperform static banner ads in
case of ethnic apparel promotion.
According to graph no. (4.1. T), there is a strong disagreement among the
designers that animation banner ads disturb the viewing experience. But
some of the respondents suggest that animation does distract the message of
the banner ads. It means that animated or dynamic ads are playing an
essential role in web banner ads to attract the consumer response. When it
comes to know the opinion of consumer about static ads and dynamic ads of
web banner ads then it is observed from the graph no.(4.2.19) we can easily
identify that both static and dynamic ads are equally preferable by most of the
respondents. Also after conducting correlation test using Spearman Rank
Correlation and Pearson Correlation techniques we can infer that static and
dynamic ads share a strong positive correlation which means respondents
who are attracted by static ads are also attracted by dynamic ads and vice-
versa.
Hence from the above discussion, it has seen that both static ads & dynamic
ads have their own importance in advertising therefore, the fifth hypothesis
that “In banner ads dynamic ads (animation, video, and slideshow) is less
liked by customers instead of static ads (picture, text etc)” has became
negative.
At last on the basis of graph no. (4.1. U) it is noticeable that maximum percent
designer focus on all of the design elements while composing banner ads.
Similarly from the graph no.(4.2.13) it can be seen that 70% of the female
respondents prefer the whole composition of the web banner advertisement
which includes elements like look, feel, prize and designs and 26% of the
respondents look at banner ads for offers and discount. Brand name of the
230

Apart from these visual elements of web banner ads one more element is very
important for banner ad which is called button or call to action (CTA).
“Words that urge the reader, listener, or viewer of sales promotion message
to take an immediate action, such as “Write Now”, “Call Now”, or “Click Here”
(Andrei Tiburca, sept 16, 2015) are called call to action button. A retail
advertisement or commercial without a call-to-action is considered incomplete
and ineffective in web banner ads. Button shape and size can also play a big
role when attempting to craft the perfect CTA button. Everyone see
rectangular call to action buttons all over the internet. Rectangular shaped
buttons have introduced into the digital world a long time ago and people
know their functionality and what’s the next step when they click a rectangular
buttons, to perform an action (Andrei Tiburca, sept 16, 2015). “Color is a very
influential source of information when people are making a purchase decision”
(Impact of Color on marketing). So using the right color for CTR buttons is
very important because every color stimulates a different feeling or mood. For
example, Amazon is saying that they have generated more sales using an
orange buttons on their websites. Also psychologists are saying that is better
to use a red color to trigger more attention. Position of CTA buttons are also
very important thing in web banner advertising, it should be placed where the
231
Chapter – 4 Data Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation
action is most likely to be taken. The location of the CTA can be tricky since it
depends on several factors including: the goal of the page, the intent of the
visitor and the complexity of what advertisers are offering. It is observed from
graph no. (4.1. Q) that most preferable location for call-to-action button is the
position after the copy of the ads. This is followed by corner position of the
banner ad & under the logo position. These choices by the designers refer to
the most effective position of the buttons which would be visible to the viewers
& also would not intrude into the creative content of the banner ads.
Hence from the above discussion and hypothesis testing it has been deduce
that for successful communication in web banner ads whole visual elements
played a vital role because each and every element has its own quality and
for more effectiveness of advertising whole composition is required.
