A post on the Korte Build Smart blog mentions color and sound as two key elements to consider when building banks.
Citing a case study on the Fukuoka Bank of Japan, Korte asserts that the level of satisfaction for both clients and employees is paramount. Sound obvious? Well, according to the blog, "...in the past, designs were only meant for usability issues."
We all know money is an emotional thing. It only makes sense to consider design in managing those emotions.
