Designing for Emotion

This week we were asked to create a direct mailer for the recruitment services center for the University of Oklahoma. I decided to do one for direct from high school freshmen because that is where they get the most students. My direct mailer ended up looking like this:

I was pretty impressed with myself. I ended up really liking what I came up with. It is simple, but shows the beauty of the university. It is what attracts a lot of students to the university.

One thing that I agreed with in Designing for Emotion was that it said to make designs that would be useful, and usable. Often times, I feel like a lot of class assignments (not this class) are just for busy work and couldn’t be used to show your skills. Therefore, the work is useless and not useful.

Thank you for listening this week, I had a lot of fun with this assignment.
