• the leading principle of attracting consumer to images on individual shells of tobacco products (and, accordingly, to products themselves) is to make these images entertaining, interesting and useful from thr point of view of the consumer. It can be made through the images content. Images of only decorative character can be used as auxiliary elements of the design of an individual shell surface.
• the "text” means the independent image bearing a readable information which occupies, at least, a part of a material surface; and the “picture” means all other independent images, except for textual.
