Designing for Emotion Chapter 2

In addition to the two direct mailers we were required to design, we were also asked to read chapter 2 in the book Designing for Emotion. This book is our required reading for our Public Relations Publication course and gives us an inside look as to why designs should look a certain way.

In chapter two there are some things I agree with and some that I don’t agree with. One thing I do agree with is that when composing a webpage, less is more. It is important not to overload a webpage with clutter because it will overwhelm the viewers brain. One thing I don’t agree with is when the book says that attractive things make people feel good. Though this is true that attractive things make people feel good I don’t agree that the only things that make people feel good are attractive.
