Hello Lovely Viewers! Chapter 4 of Designing for Emotion was about how to positively engage the audience through surprise and anticipation. I agree Photojojo did really well with their interactive web design – their design uses surprise in a way that encourages the user to use the site more and learn more about the brand/company. I …
This week we also read Chapter four of Designing for Emotion and one thing that I found that I agreed with was on the topic of Facebook and Twitter. The book talks about how in 2010 Twitter made updates to their application allowing people to experience a new design. Facebook soon followed suit but to … Continue reading “PR PUBS: Chapter 4 Response”
This week in PR Pubs we have begun our newsletter assignment where we are choosing a company to design a newsletter for. I chose Starbucks. I had to resist the urge to choose Disney but Starbucks is just as well. While we became familiar with newspapers early in the semester I am trying to find … Continue reading “PR PUBS: Newsletter Assignment”
We spent this past week working on our first draft of our newsletter. Honestly, this has been the hardest assignment I’ve faced so far. It’s been very difficult for me to find a layout that I think looks good and goes with the brand. Balancing the photos and content is something I am struggling with … Continue reading Dummy Draft Reflection

Whole Foods Newsletter This is a very rough draft of my Whole Foods Newsletter. I obviously still have quite a bit of work to do, but I like the direction it is going in. I have been getting frustrated because my designs don’t look as professional as I would like them to or how they … Continue reading “Newsletter Rough Draft”
I liked the example about surprise at the very beginning of the chapter. When it asked about our favorite songs coming on the radio there were a couple of occasions that immediately came to mind, and I definitely think there is more happiness that comes with the element of surprise. The line “brings the extraordinary … Continue reading “Chapter 4 Emotion Engagement”
Hello Lovely Viewer! This week we greeted our old friend InDesign, and tackled a dummy layout for our Newsletters. This assignment was fun, personally, but I did not think this week was much of a challenge. Which was nice, after being frustrated with last week’s assignment. Working in an app that I know how to use, …
In PR Publications this week we were asked to start on our 4th design project and read the 4th chapter in Designing for Emotion, Emotional Engagement. I agreed with what the chapter said about Twitter and change… “Twitter did something particularly interesting with the release. Rather than simply forcing people to switch to the new … Continue reading “Designing for Emotion – Chapter 4”
In chapter 4, there were a number of things that I agreed with. In particular, there was one instance where it spoke about how providing people with attention and kindness can help a business succeed. I really do agree with this for a number of reasons. I am always more willing to help someone when … Continue reading Designing for Emotion- Chapter 4
