Version 2.0 of Emotion Driven Design (an earlier talk)
Are we getting the intended emotional response we set out to achieve? In this seminar, we explore the powerful effects of emotion-driven design on human behavior.
Our decisions are based off of 10% logic and 90% emotion. Reversal Theory helps us understand how we constantly change from being «goal focused» to «explorative» and how we need to design for both of these states of mind.
Through methods and examples, we gain a greater understanding for how we create engaging experiences and long term commitments by focusing on emotional design.
5. Emotional design revolves around our
needs as humans to bond and create a
connection between man and machine.
6. When you have two similar coffee
products, it’s your emotions that
chooses one over the other.
7. ”Designing an interface to be usable is
like a chef creating edible food.”
Aaron Walters, Design for emotion
8. Why we love or hate everyday things, Donald Norman
The emotional side of design
may be more critical to a
product’s success than it’s
practical elements.
– Donald Norman
15. Our designs should be:
APPEALING
Grab attention
PLEASURABLE
Have fun
MEMORABLE
Build a relationship
EFFECTIVE
Guide the user
The Emotional Design Scale
16. “Emotional design is not about nice-to-have warm fuzzy
experiences, it’s central to daily life and the decision-
making process for consumers.
The more effectively we can apply emotional design in
our site, the better conversion rates and sales will be.”
Aaron Walter, Design for emotion
