It's definitely a valid point to bring up banner blindness (as in the "article" linked). Banner blindness can easily be addressed by size, position and weight (just some of the principles of graphic design that will help a graphic be effective). The environment in which the graphic is placed is very key, of course, and must be addressed when determining whether or not a graphic will be used. Thanks for posting, Jade!
