Chapter 2 — The Visual Content Audit

Your Brain on Brands

Five neuroscience-backed tests to measure the emotional power of your visual content. Upload 10 images and discover whether your brand triggers the right feelings.

Emotional Visual Identity Audit

We will show your images one at a time and ask quick questions about emotion, simulation, consistency and processing fluency. Everything stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.

Test 2.1

Trigger an Emotion

Each image will appear for 2 seconds. After it disappears, pick the emotion it triggered — or "Nothing" if it fell flat.

Test 2.3

Specific Enough to Simulate?

For each image, ask yourself: can you imagine yourself in this scene? A generic product-on-white is hard to simulate. A contextual scene draws you in.

Test 2.4

Consistent Enough to Compound?

Look at all 10 images together. Answer three questions about whether they feel like they belong to the same brand.

Do all images share the same colour palette?
Do all images share the same lighting style?
Would a stranger know these all came from the same brand?

Brand Consistency

Test 2.5

Easy to Process?

Each image will flash for just 1 second. Then we will ask: was the main subject immediately clear? This measures processing fluency — the brain's preference for simplicity.
