چکیده
This paper presents the results of an experiment in which students are asked to reposition rectangular shapes in a window in two cases: when they are or they are not told that the window should be considered the configuration of a graphical user interface (GUI). The main aim of the research is to investigate if users have different aesthetical preferences in the two distinct cases. Other goals are to see if, in the case of a GUI, the aesthetical criteria relate to cognitive ergonomics and if there are some preferred shape patterns. Author
