Top-Down Visual Processing

Computer Mouse

This is my example of a piece of design related to top-down visual processing.  One of the most common but probably overlooked pieces of design.  It is top-down, because the user will probably only glance at their mouse briefly before or whilst using it but will be using it constantly whilst using their computer.  They will also only look at the parts of it they need - if they do look at it at all.  The user will quickly gather the information they need to know where to place their hand, but the rest comes automatically from the brain and previous experience/knowledge.
