Reflection

So I’m one hundred percent obsessed with Canva. My only complaint is that I didn’t know about it sooner honestly. I think that it makes font pairings and modern design so so much easier. I think that there are obviously limitations. If I had a design idea that I wanted to execute I more than […]

This last week in my PR Pubs class, we were given a book to read. The first chapter is definitely an overview of the entire book, but it has some great points. I would like to briefly write about a few things that I really agreed with and a few things that I didn’t necessarily […]

Designing For Emotion

After reading the book Designing for Emotion, I had a few thoughts about the first chapter. Initially when I thought about designing for emotion Sarah McLachlan’s ASPCA commercials would naturally come to mind.

Designing for Emotion

1. I do agree that the rise of social media has in turn raised consumers’ expectations that businesses have a “personality” that is conveyed through their online presence. 2. While this is true, a business’ “personality” does not necessarily have to be honest. Businesses are catering to a demographic, and…

Chapter 1 – Designing for Emotion

This week we were also asked to read Chapter 1 and pick out topics that we agreed and disagreed with.
