Design for Emotion and Happiness
Identifying and designing for enjoyable and meaningful experiences
Emotions are fundamental to all design acquired and consumed by people. This includes emotions experienced in response to seeing, buying and using products and services. Moreover, design has the ability to enable long-term happiness.
This MC hosts a mixture of (interactive) tutorials and workshops covering a selection of aspects of design related to emotion and for happiness, including theory, measurement, and practice. Design approaches are introduced that are embedded in theory whilst remaining pragmatic and usable for designers. Participants deepen their knowledge of how product design elicits emotions, and of the influence of design on happiness. They gain hands-on experience by formulating design intentions that include emotional and happiness effects.
