Sorry for the typo. That should read "limbic system".

Sorry Dave, Human reaction IS chemical and the evidence has been overwhelming for almost three decades. I'm just trying to see if the rest of our little community sees what I have observed dozens of times: clients who want jazzier layouts, and respondents who think the eye candy gets in the way. And I want to see if there are any cultural aspects of which I should be aware. You can dismiss my hypothesis out of hand as false, but I'd advise you to do some reading before you make such a rash judgement. You can start by researching endorphins and the limpic system. And if you think brain chemistry changes from person to person, you're playing into the hands of those who believe in the superiority of certain races. This is a dangerous area, Dave. Tread carefully. I'm going to assume that races are equal, but culture may play a role. But I have a lot more to say about that - later. I don't want to completely skew my results by explaining things in greater detail. As to the survey, the trends are already crystal clear after the first hundred responses. And as to your comment regarding minimalist designs, well, this has very little to do with this particular problem - even blind squirrels find a tasty nut once in a while. Wanna go out for a beer in Savannah next month? I'll tell you what this is all about :-) Cheers, Eric ----------------------- Eric Reiss CEO The FatDUX Group Copenhagen, Denmark <http://www.fatdux.com/> http://www.fatdux.com office: (+45) 39 29 67 77 mobile: (+45) 20 12 88 44 skype: ericreiss twitter: @elreiss FatDUX is an official sponsor of the Usability Professionals' Association <http://www.upassoc.org> http://www.upassoc.org ----------------------- If you received this in error, please let us know and delete the file.

Eric, You know I love ya, but that survey is so poorly organized. Your poblem is so much more complex than experience that it really can't be handled in this survey. I think your hypothesis is false. There is nothing chemical in human reaction that is not also blatantly nullifiable through behavior and culture. I have also seen the exact opposite occur, when presented with B&W wireframes the client saying they really like the minimalist approach and then expect that to be the final design. Go figure! -- dave On Sun, Jan 10, 2010 at 9:34 AM, Eric Reiss <[email protected]> wrote: Friends (with many apologies for cross-posting), I have a theory I'd like you to help me prove or disprove. If you have five minutes (in all - tops) and are involved in both: - presenting proposed visual web designs to clients - observing user testing of these designs I look forward to hearing from you at: http://is.gd/60Axd Many thanks, Eric ----------------------- Eric Reiss CEO The FatDUX Group Copenhagen, Denmark <http://www.fatdux.com/> http://www.fatdux.com office: (+45) 39 29 67 77 mobile: (+45) 20 12 88 44 skype: ericreiss twitter: @elreiss FatDUX is an official sponsor of the Usability Professionals' Association <http://www.upassoc.org> http://www.upassoc.org ----------------------- If you received this in error, please let us know and delete the file.
