1. How do you feel simplicity/complexity contributes to Visceral Design, Behavioral Design, and Reflective Design?
2. Find ideas from two of your classmates’ blogs that could be combined to make an interesting observation about design. Copy the relevant passages and explain how they relate to the point.

1. Both simplicity and complexity contribute to Visceral Design, Behavioral Design, and Reflective Design in different ways. Simplicity can affect Visceral Design in the terms of simple, bright colors, and smooth curves. The design is viscerally appealing because of its simplicity. However, it could just as easily be viscerally appealing if complex. The complexity of its color scheme could just as easily attract somebody naturally to it. Reflective design is a more self developed feeling and therefore it is hard to say whether it is complex or simple as it may vary from person to person. On the other hand, types of behavioral design are easily categorized as simple or complex, and both are important. As I have mentioned before complexity contributes to design when selling it. Simplicity contributes to design when actually using the product.
2. “I think that Evan is right about products that are complex is what everybody wants these days.”
-Maureen
“This supports the claim that with most products, the ones that appear to be the most complex are the most bought.”
-Kenny
Both of these statements are reaffirming my previous belief that complexity sells and that the biggest type of feedback for a business is what in the stores is selling. It is going to be hard for a company to notice a product that consumers really can use well but do not buy. Even if they could pinpoint these products, why make something that does not sell as much as something else. If consumers really want simpler products then buy them.
