How Framing Influences Everything

How Framing Influences Everything

    🖼 Framing is everywhere, influencing everything.

    It's often accidental—which is why it's so important to proactively think about. 

    For example, a sandwich that you can buy from inside a gym complex, may be perceived as being healthier than an identical one bought from a van in an industrial estate.

    In short: the way in which information is presented, is influential in how it's perceived and understood.

    As a demonstration, from their descriptions alone, which of the following two products would you assume is healthier?

    🥤

    A purple frozen Squishy

    Made with 98% sugar.

    🍊

    Squishy: made with real fruit juice

    2% fruit. Drink enough and it'll count as 1 of your 5 a day.

    They're the same product, but the second is framed to draw focus away from the sugar.

    It's quite literally perception manipulation.
