Why should marketers play it?Focus on how do people feel about the choices we give them
Shows the Compound effect created by of a lot of small, great details
Design choices influence the whole experience
Why we should test constantly
Why it's so good?Because of how it balances FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND elements. What takes our active attention, and what doesn't.And then it uses our expectations as leverages to introduce:
Repetition (background elements)
create a pattern that is recognizable and allows for faster decision making
create muscle memory that improves performance over time
Variation (foreground elements)
Randomly created the rooms, but based on a common patterns, allow for the environment to feel familiar, but not the same. Familiarity, not blind memory, makes people feel comfortable.
Customisation (against boredom)
Make variations interesting and not overwhelming (not 100 choices, but only 3 / 6 meaningful ones)
Offers deep alternatives: i.e. one weapon can become interesting once it's modified in a certain way, it reframes the expectation in an encouraging way
real life marketing exampleLiziqiSurprise is to find out that she is not just a fantastic content creator, she's a super businesswoman.
Apple Watch StudioThe price of the watch fades away in the background while you choose the colours and the armbands, increasing the perceived value of the object because the more we make it "ours", the more we grow fond of it
Apps design UX Think Uber, or Airbnb. Or Google homepage. They kept removing clutter and simplifying the experience and make it more effortless.
Stories (Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, etc)It's a response to the over edited, over professional content from the pro-Instagrammers that makes the rest of us feel ashamed to post. It promotes content over form.
