Does Appearance Really Matter?


Does appearance really matter? I’m not asking about how the appearance of a person, but the appearance of a written page. What I’m talking about is page design.
Page design refers to the design and layout of a page. Whether it is a web page, a memo, a flyer, or some other document, page design is a critical aspect. Imagine that you receive an email or letter.  If you are like most people, you will gain some kind of overall impression within the first couple seconds.  That impression could quite possible make you want to enthusiastically delve deeper to see what the context is.  On the other hand, the impression could make you want to immediately hit the delete button. Page design is something we see every day, but many of us seldom take the time to appreciate a good page design.  Does it draw you in, or does it make you want to look away?
I had really never given much conscious thought to page design before last week. However, learning about page design has really opened my eyes to how powerful it can be. Not only the color palette, but how the words are formatted to look neat and well organized. Does it matter to you?
