This is a science-marketing experiment on small scale.
Give this a minute of your time, after a few days I'll publish the reason of this, making your minute worth the knowledge.

Below are few images displayed.
The very same image shown on the left and right side.

Comment which image you prefer: Left or Right
(don't think too much, just pick on which you like most)

like:

1. Left
2. Right
3. Right
4. Left
5. Left
6. ...

1. Left
2. Right
3. Right
4. Left
5. Left
6. Right
7. Left
8. Right

(The direction the object is facing makes it more pleasing to the eye? :O)

Interested in seeing the results.

Thanks for the people who participated, sadly just so few did
Well, only the not-lazy ones will get smarter & richer.

Anyways

I was checking out on youtube and saw a video about "Phi", I once knew what it was but haven't though of it for few years, now I kinda re-discovered it and started applying it to IM.

info: http://www.goldennumber.net/what-is-phi/

anyways, check out youtube vids if u'r willing to learn more about it.

What I did here:

All the images on the left side; I multiplied the Height and Weight by 1.618 (Phi) (making it slightly larger) than the right image.
From the answers I saw more people liked Left than right.

Now think about it (& try it yourself)
Check out YouTube Logo, Google logo (from 2004), Yahoo, etc....
The layout of their websites, font sizes, dimensions, etc... are very closely related to Phi.
Don't believe me? Next thread....

I preferred only Left ones. No reason whatsoever. I just chose them because I couldn't find much difference between the two.

Actually I got 4 and 4. If you are very interested about Phi number, I recommend you to read The Golden Factor, it is a book with lots of facts about it and it explains it in a really good way

I didn't much thinking and decided to like the ones on the right, for no apparent reason, since they looked exactly the same to me. So I couldn't consciuosly make a decision based on the actual pictures.

I don't know if this helps...

I don't think its about "phi" shit. That's the human perception. You read from left to right. Simple. You should have placed the larger images on the right to see the effect.

Looking fast they seem identical. I have heard most people gravitate to the right. Maybe handedness makes a big deal?
