The Brain Mirrors Emotions
People experience others' emotions. If someone is smiling or frowning, someone looking on will feel that emotion. When people are in similar situations, the same region in the brain is activated. Avoid unintentional facial expressions in your designs/advertisements. This may cause a different emotional reaction than you had intended.
