Part of our assignment this week was to read one last chapter of our choice from Designing for Emotion, the textbook (e-book) we’re using for our PR Publications class. I liked this book and found it informative and easy to read. I’d much rather spend $9 on something relevant than $75 on something I barely […]
This semester in my PR pubs class has definitely been a learning process. I began this semester with nearly no idea on how to use Photoshop and no idea on how to use InDesign. My work has matured as well as my talents in these design softwares. However, I would like to discuss my plans […]
I had to create a domain/blog for an online class I took in the fall, so I kind of knew what to expect in this class. Personally, I found the PR Pubs blog to be more useful than the blog I did for my online class…because PR is more relevant to me than mythology and folklore, […]
Through PR Publications, I have been able to create my own website. For the first part of the semester, I only used it for class work and to post specifically on my blog page. About half way through the semester, I began to utilize it for many different things. I created multiple pages including: About, […]

It will probably depend on the type of jobs I apply for and […]

In Public Relations Publications we were asked to read chapter 4 Emotional Engagement in Designing for Emotion and explain what we agree and disagree with in this chapter. “There’s not enough time for deep, intellectual contemplation, so the brain relies on emotion to provide a “gut reaction.”” I definitely agree with this statement because interface … Continue reading Designing for Emotion →
Chapter 4 of designing for emotion centered on how to design for emotional engagement. This chapter enumerates many strategies for achieving this connection including: surprise, delight, anticipation, elevating perceived status, and limiting access to elicit a feeling of exclusivity. At the close of the chapter, the author counterbalances his statements with a caveat, explaining that …
This week marked the beginning of the final assignment in PR publications — the summary of learning project. In this project, I will have the opportunity to reexamine each assignment throughout the course of the semester and reflect on the difficulties and celebrate the successes. After reading through my blog posts, I decided that the …
In chapter 4 of Designing for Emotion, the author uses Photojojo’s website as an example of emotional design. I agree when he says that “the more Photojojo encourages movement, the more products will be seen, and that helps keep sales rolling in.” Emotional design is important when creating a website, because it encourages viewers to come […]
