Introduction<br\> changed from:<br\> So if you have two identical products and one has a more attractive ‘skin’ than the other, you will find that users will prefer the more attractive design and will perceive it as being easier to use. This has quite important implications with respect to the success of a design. Because aesthetic designs look easier to use they will have a higher probability of being used and accepted. Conversely, a product with a more usable design may in fact still fail to be accepted if the aesthetic is poor. A very similar phenomenon exists between human beings where first impressions of an attractive person is quite different than someone who is less attractive. Such observations are well documented. [Capp, 2004] to:<br\> Usability practices leading to the simplification of form and function improve the overall aesthetics. The aesthetic-usability effect concludes that more aesthetic designs appear easier to use - regardless of whether they are or not. It is not enough for an object to merely function well. When aesthetically designed, users allow for more tolerance, and are then willing to exert more effort. When a user feels that the design is easy to use, it leads to more broadened interaction.
