Hier ist eine kurze, vielleicht etwas trockene Lektüre: Five things I believe about the aesthetics of interaction design (PDF, 8 Seiten).
In interaction design, we are not doing visual art. The user’s aesthetic experience lies in the interaction, the way in which the system behaves and responds over time in interplay with the user. To put it simply, when we talk about aesthetics we need to talk about look and feel, not merely about look. [...] We focus on the detailed behavior of mouseovers and clicks, as well as on elaborate animations of major state changes, in order to make you experience two related but somewhat opposed sensations while using the visualization.
Das Paper ist durchaus kurz lesenswert.
