Retailers have known this well...forever, hence the reason for pretty frilly packaging on crap items. And the worst part is, it WORKS, the "packaging" can have a sub-conscious effect on how a consumer perceives the product. Having a nice, clean, SIMPLE design is best.... then it works to accent and highlight the content without taking focus away from it and eliciting emotional response in a negative way to it.
So true. I've been doing 3d graphics for years. Usually at the initial stage, there are some 3d models that will appearing in the show that must be approved by the client.

If I did a quick, not so good job, I could always get client sign-off as long as the 3d render was presented with nice surrounding graphics. If it was just on black, they would pick the work apart and it would take forever. Sometimes, there are clients who can see past my smoke an mirrors, but most are dumb as shit and like things that are shiny and pretty, even if its shiny and pretty crap.
