Visual design Vs Usability

I was going through a presentation slide of Jeff Patton where he mentioned about a book, Donald Norman's Design of everyday things.

While Visual Design certainly can affect usability, it’s quite possible for a product to have pleasing visual design, but intolerable usability.

Well, rightly said.

Infact they believe in being in herds

Last time I wrote about 'the herd mentality' and I mentioned about how we exhibit the herd mentality in our behavior. But I have seen the actual herd behaving in practice. I was surprised to see how these animals comfy to be with their kind, no matter what. They even dare to risk their life to be with the herd. Thanks to these creatures and their behavior which made me wait 20 mins on the road to Jomsom.
