Why does WT artwork always have one person that is looking at the reader when depicting a group of people? Whether it's the little girl in the Sermon on the amount scene or the woman in the Armagedon scene. What is the psychological and/or subliminal effect of this one the reader? It always creeped me out.

Having a person in the scene look back at the viewer is a psychological device used to make the viewer part of the scene.
It is meant to increase the sense that the viewer is actually there and not just observing - the viewer participates.

Oh god, I always hated, hated , hated the bloody "artist's impression" and the staged photos.
Idiots would comment on them like they were real.

Personally, I always like the Watchtower artwork with the demonic subliminal themes.....semi-hidden male phalluses, devils' claws, etc. I wish they would go back to doing more of that. It made for some very interesting discussions. Any lurkers from the Watchtower art department reading this??? I hope so! Give us some more juicy subliminals to ponder over.

Is a common way to engage the reader. The WT/GB/FDS/Borg will make people beleive that they invented it.

An interesting article.

Consider the vivid pictures of paradise, and what that does for the ordinary Jehovah's Witness.
I know this promise has a powerful effect on my hubby.
