i think all media is mind control. graphic designers and the people that make the ads have many techniques that not only help you suggest a certain feeling (as in the 'sex' picture or more overt things also), but also where your eye leads into the picture. what would you read first? how does your eyes enter and exit the page? it's all part of trying to keep you engaged. obviously, in the american cancer society ad, breast is big, bold and surrounded in a pink block. this will most likely grab your attention first and then draw you in to the rest of the ad and what it has to say. THIS is mind control. they have designed this with purpose and intent. nothing is an accident in graphic design.
