"very silly. In fact if you do this, I think you're vapid and I lose respect for you."
I used to agree with you. And I still would feel someone is silly for paying so much for a watch or a handbag (because we have different values from them). But I think you're missing something important.
User feeling is hard to define and even harder to work with, but that's where the real gold is.
- criddell 11y agoDon Norman has written a lot about how important aesthetics are. Like you, I used to think function was all that mattered. When I was buying something, I loved finding spec sheets to pore over. Now, I trust my feelings much more than any spec sheet and in general I'm happier with the things I choose. Attractive things work better.
