Original Meeting Invitation
Emotional Design
a discussion lead by Xinru Page
7:00pm Thursday, September 13, 2007 at NextPage, 13997 S. Minuteman Drive, Draper. (map)
Why are people willing to stand in line for days and pay hundreds of dollars for an iPhone? Why do we spend three times the money to buy a trinket in a foreign country that we would never buy at home? What elements of emotional design will you incorporate in your next project?
Xinru Page will lead a discussion on Emotional Design covering:
- Where emotional design fits in with other design, using Don Norman's analysis
- Examples and insight from the Universal Principles of Design book (Lidwell, Holden, & Butler)
- Examples and insight from Designing Interactions (Tidwell)
- Examples and insight from Blink (Gladwell)
