When I was little I didn't want to see anything other than the toy... if there was a kid in the picture I hated them... if I could see too much room around it I hated whoever's room it was... these were all things distracting me from the toy itself which I just wanted to see closer up! Though contrary to what uan said, I did not want to see lots of color... that made me think of something I didn't want or that a baby would look at. IMO use as few colors as possible to convey a certain mood, but then use as many moods as you need. Whenever I looked at the Lego or FAO Schwartz (and a few others I don't remember) catalogs and stuff I could usually tell by the colors near the edge if I wasn't going to care about whatever was on the page, i.e. pastel colors were going to suck, pink/yellow combined was going to be ponies and shit, etc. Pretty basic but within the context of a single page I didn't want to drown in color– the only exception being photographs of gumballs.
