The aesthetic-usability effect is a long established phenomenon, where a high aesthetic in user interfaces leads to an increase in user perceptions of system usability. This benefits designers by rewarding ‘beautiful’ interfaces, but is problematic as it can mask underlying usability problems, leading to inferior user experiences. To date, research...
