Men and women worlds apart when it comes to what catches their eye on the
internet.
|
|
A first-of-its-kind study conducted by experts at the University of Glamorgan
has proved that men and women really are poles apart when it comes to what
catches their eye on the internet.
Where visuals are concerned, males favor the use of straight lines (as opposed
to rounded forms), few colors in the typeface and background, and formal
typography. As for language, they favour the use of formal or expert language
with few abbreviations and are more likely to promote themselves and their
abilities heavily.
To highlight some of the results:
Male subjects tended to assign higher ratings to pages designed by men.
Men responded better to dark colors and straight, horizontal lines across a
page.
Men were more pleased by a three-dimensional look and images of
"self-propelling" rather than stationary objects.
From another source (www.colormatters.com/khouw.html)
Men prefer color with stronger hue and saturation (bright colors); women tend
to prefer tints to shades (soft colors).
Men are generally more tolerant of black, white and gray than women.
One in ten men is color blind, but less than 1% of women are.:)

We decided to check some of America's largest corporate sites at
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/
Do you think the majority of them displayed a masculine orientation?
Bright colors,straight lines, no color in the background, a lot of blues, reds,
and blacks....

| These images illustrate male baised design. Strong lines, strong statements,
strong colors!

If you hear "It is excellent! But, could you please to make this button bigger,
this color brighter?" - don't think twice. The images below will help you to
