Software for conceptual design of graphics and adverts hasn't been possible

The European Union-funded IMAGINATION project has recently developed
ImageNotion, software for organizing, searching, and navigating archives of

in the images. ImageNotion's tools for semantic image annotation and search

computers (ACM Technotes 31 Aug09).
Potentially, this opens up for software to create meaningful persuasive
concept designs.
