> Expressive design makes you feel something. It inspires emotion, communicates function, and helps users achieve their goals.

I sometimes wonder if the people writing this sort of thing really believe what they're writing?

Their case study is mostly just "make buttons that people use a lot stand out". Oh wow! Such emotion! Much feels!

Depends on how deep you want the belief to be, but a lot of people will hold weird beliefs. I've seen colleagues express so much pride, joy and pleasure for things that I consider bogus at best (and totally detrimental if I'm being harsh), so I wouldn't be surprised people who live in UX land to be in that kind of bubble. The worst part to me .. is the blend of cutesy-butterfly projects with "scientific study" practices. So now they have stats on how their emotion framework is the best for the future.

I heard recently from a professional Marketer/Behavioral Psychologist is one of the things he learned that was a gut punch was the things one holds most dear are generally commodities to almost everyone else.
