The aesthetic dimension focuses on how beauty and design influence daily life. Though often considered a complementary factor, aesthetics have a significant impact on various aspects of life, including business, communication, and the surrounding environment. The ability to create and appreciate beauty can enhance the quality of life and add value to objects or ideas.
Beauty and Success
Design as a Key Differentiator
Tom Peters, a management expert, stated that in the 21st century, “quality is the price of entry, design is the key to success.” This means that while quality is the basic requirement to compete, design or presentation is the key to success.
Two products with the same function can have different perceived values if one is packaged more aesthetically. This highlights the importance of beauty in various areas of life.
