on 15 Oct 11This is for anyone: what is your opinion on the importance of design in selling? We all know that unboxing an Apple product for the first time is a religious experience for most.
But there are clearly companies that succeed with substandard attention to aesthetics in the name of clarity or speed.
I guess my question is really, can a product be made or broken on design alone, or is a beautiful design more of an effective marketing tool that helps a product that must succeed on its own merits?
