Emotional Phone

-WHY DESIGN FOR EMOTION?-

Emotions play a critical role in our daily lives, helping assess situations as good or bad, safe or dangerous. Positive emotions are critical to learning, curiosity, and creative though. Negative emotions tend to create anxiety, narrowing one’s focus.Emotional experiences are important because they make a profound imprint on our long-term memory. Everyone is born with emotions, it is the “common language” of humans.Emotional design turns casual users into fanatics, ready to tell others about their positive experience.
