From the picture we can understand that they have used two words and strong visual content to convey their message. It’s really an attention-grabbing, clever and smart ad. They have focused on a particular feature of the car and made an image with minimalist design for it.
A good interactive design can effectively communicate the message of your brand to the audience. But if the design is not engaging in nature, readable or simple to understand, then it will create a bad impression in people’s mind. So the graphic design is a wonderful opportunity to develop consumer trust and confidence and if it is not properly implemented, it will affect the brand’s image.

This website is capable of creating a positive impact on its targeted consumers and hence build a better and clear understanding about its products and services.
