The journal Visible Language sometimes has interesting things about
aesthetics. ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^

There are some interesting studies of users' affective response to
interfaces:

Nasar, J.L. "Responses to different spatial configurations,"  Human
    Factors, 1981, 23(4), 439-446.

Holynski, M.  "User-adaptive computer graphics,"  International Journal
    of Man-Machine Studies, 1988, 29, 539-548.
    (discovering user preferences with respect to variables such as
     business, complexity, color variety, shape variety, balance,
     symmetry, etc.)
