    When it comes to placing a big red button in your face and daring you to press it, any website that has a search bar right in the middle of the screen make you want to press that button, whether or not you actually really want to. This is obvious design because it coerces the user to do what we want to do by instinct, push that button. So, when you go to Google or Bing and you're staring down that search bar, you know you want to use it, like pressing that big red button. As humans we tend to be somewhat weak when it comes to resisting temptation and developers and designers know this, so they take every chance they get to shove that big red button in our faces.  The web site I think has an obvious design that utilizes the red button analogy is Wikipedia. As soon as you hit the home page, there it is, staring at you: the search bar. This is an obvious design because it really plays the human nature of curiosity. Anything that can make you do or feel something that is natural like the search bar and curiosity I feel like is an example of obvious design.
