The topic that stood out to me the most while reading the assigned chapter was on pages 3 and 4 when the author talked about online personality. Before social media, the Internet was a very formal and professional place. Now, people fight, joke and monitor fights between dog and goat Twitter accounts (this is what I did last … Continue reading Designing for Emotion: Ch. 1
For my public relations publications class, I was asked to make a design or video that is a summary of learning from the class.

For my final project in PR pubs, I decided on doing and interactive Google Doc called “Tell Me About PR Pubs.” Throughout this whole semester, I’ve had a lot of people ask me about this class and my experience with it so I decided to capture that aspect of this class–it’s legacy. There was […]

The part of the chapter that I agree with and take the most away from is the beginning. Risk taking is one … Continue reading Designing for Emotion – Chapter 7
Chapter 6 in Designing for Emotion was one of great teaching. I am reading the book for my public relations publications class, and I think this chapter perfectly explains the intersection of design and crisis communication in the public relations world.

In this chapter, there was some that I agreed with and quite a bit that I disagreed with. … Continue reading Designing for Emotion – Chapter 5
