1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very handy guide to the literature of emotions. relevant to designers.By Paul SasA great synthesis of a lot of psych research. brought into focus by articulating principles that can be deployed by designers.Each chapter integrates a lot of the literature. and shows how those findings are realized in concrete examples. The instances arent full-blown designs. but rather snippets of visual phenomena. For example. theres a table showing different patterns of lines. with a brief guide to how those feel intuitively.Also of great value is Aaron Walters concise. brilliant book. Designing for Emotion. His book exemplifies its message. and is extremely well written. If you need an excellent demonstration of how to go all the way toward a complete interaction design. Walters book is the best Ive found. Its a very detailed case study (focused on the charming service. MailChimp).The van Gorp book is more theoretical. and provides a wide-ranging review of the literature.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
