“Thanks for the coverage! Your review is great.
It is always cool to hear from someone who enjoys playing Lumen.I have to give credit where it is due though. Adam Betts was the artist who redesigned the interface. To be honest I didn’t even give him any guidelines on what needed changing on the interface. He completely came up with everything himself. He spotted many UI flaws that Lumen had and fixed them without any instruction from me. He also was great about communicating his progress, delivering very on time, and charged a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.”
Thank You,
Bridger Maxwell

From Wikipedia
“The halo effect refers to a cognitive bias whereby the perception of a particular trait is influenced by the perception of the former traits in a sequence of interpretations.”
When people talk about Apple, they talk mainly about the iPod. The iPod had, and most still think, has, a halo effect surrounding it. The basic theory is, you end up buying a low end iPod at first, and on that experience alone, brings you to upgrade to a higher, more featured, model …
