Designing for Emotion – Chapter 7

The final chapter of Designing for Emotion talks overall about the idea of design. The book required for my public relations publications class has taught me greatly about the different aspects of design.

The part of the chapter that I agree with and take the most away from is the beginning. Risk taking is one of the most important parts of being in public relations. As one of my teachers told me, “if you don’t take a risk, you’ll never get a reward.” I believe that to be true because the industry is cut throat, and creativity is the key to success.

Disagreement wise, I don’t particularly disagree with anything in this chapter. I think that the final sentence must only be applied to the public relations industry or others of the type. There are industries where risk is not smart or necessary, but I do agree that it is crucial in the public relations world.
