Influence of the mode of graphical representation on the perception of product aesthetic and emotional features: An exploratory study

An Investigation Through Content Analysis in Infographics

“…The second research document that obtained the most citations was "Influence of the mode of graphical representation on the perception of product aesthetic and emotional features" (Ramírez et al, 2008;n=29), which concentrates on the influence of infographic representation on learning.…”

Development of a Methodology for Robust Evaluation of Perceived Quality of Vehicle Body Panel Gaps

“…Table 1 summarizes the studies discussed above on evaluating customer perception, detailing the survey working aids (types of display) and the type of survey, as well as the size of the study. In relation to the use of visual graphics of products for research study, Artacho-Ramirez et al (2008) concluded that photographic representation suffices to communicate most of the concepts in the same way that the real product would do. While virtual prototypes are increasingly used by organisations to understand the user's needs during the initial phase of product development (Da Silva and Kaminski, 2016), in terms of testing the perception of visual quality 2D images provide sufficient visual information, and 3D images can only be justified if perception of stereoscopic depth is required (Ware, 2013).…”

Integrating the Visual Design Discipline with Information Systems Research and Practice

“…Individuals or things that are aesthetically pleasing in appearance receive preference and are expected to receive preference (Dion, Berscheid, & Walster, 1972) Personal benefits of being beautiful include higher wages (French, 2002;Hamermesh & Parker, 2005), more attention from instructors (Babad, Inbar, & Rosenthal, 1982), and better teaching evaluations from students (Hamermesh & Parker, 2005). Product aesthetics is often the only differentiating factor in crowded or mature markets (Artacho-Ramirez, Diego-Mas, & Alcaide-Marzal, 2008;Postrel, 2002;Tractinsky, 2006), while customers expect attractive things to work better regardless of their real performance (Norman, 2002a). In addition, a customer's positive response to the design's aesthetics may improve his or her mood and overall impression of the system (Tractinsky et al, 2000).…”

“…Advertising research has shown that quality photorealistic images communicate to the consumer in much the same way as the physical product does. The association between aesthetics and overall impression leads to the recommendation that product designers, sales people, and ecommerce/website designers should understand both the appropriate techniques and the limitations of product representation throughout the product design, development, and marketing processes (Artacho-Ramirez et al, 2008). "The physical form or design of a product is an unquestioned determinant of its marketplace success.…”
