Human Attraction
The document summarizes observations from a study on what visually stimulates human attraction in a public retail environment. It was found that brightly colored clothing and environments attracted more people compared to monochrome areas. People were also more drawn to seating areas with other people rather than empty monochrome seats. Additionally, friends and couples tended to match their styles through similar colors, prints, or overall looks. Most individuals held items in their hands like phones or cameras, highlighting a fixation on keeping hands occupied in public spaces.
2. Pheromones
Human pheromones are brain substances that trigger
responses of attraction. Our mission was to observe in a
public space what attracts people in a retail and scenically
diverse environment.
8. Retail visually
Retail is a industry that relies on consumer attraction to
manufactured goods. For initial sensory to view each
competitors offerings, we view shoppers who are vividly
dressed in attire that is vibrant.
They are entering the retail store , LEGO. This store is
targeted to a younger crowd , but attracts an older crowd
in this story of photos who are as colorful as the store
itself. The pheromones in this ideal is COLOR.
11. We can observe from the neutrally dressed consumer that
his phemorones are not stimulated and he does not enter
the LEGO store. His natural attraction is not to color, and
proves that stimulation of the senses can potentially vary.
12. Tourist Attraction
Besides the natural attraction visually of consumers, we
also solemnly and collaboratively observed where people
sat. Public seating is something that is also correlated to
human attraction by choosing the environment they wish
to be in
19. Sensory Seating
The observations we have made conclude that a monochrome
color is less desirable for seating then a polychromatic seating
environment.
The dense seating on the bench is across from the vividly
colorful LEGO store.
The monochromatic glamorous seating that is empty is in the
Swarovski store. Directly across from the store is public seating
in a more diverse public setting.
We can see the other people go where other people
are, regardless of the color or appearance. People are attracted
to the likes of other people, a pheromones that is triggered by
visual attraction and assumption of following.
20. Tendency to Match
We noticed that several couples/friends/families dressed alike.
Similar dress codes include:
? Color Schemes
? Prints
? Tones
? Overall Style
This suggests that groups of people influence each other¡¯s
styles, and ultimately their purchasing choices.
25. Hand Fixation
Most people were holding something in their hands. Items
included: cell phones, cameras, sunglasses, shopping
bags
This highlights the growing fixation on keeping your hands
busy in public AND private spaces
