Mini-Project 2: Emotional Design Analysis I 300 HCI/ Interaction and Design Overview: This project is an evaluation of the emotional responses according to Don Norman’s framework. I will define the different responses that will be then used to evaluate an object of importance to me. In this case, I have chosen to examine the watch that I wear everyday. Background: The watch is a rose-gold Fossil watch with a medium sized face and detailing around the face. My watch is what I use to look at when I am unsure of what time it is, and also when I need to know the date. It provides all of this information very readily on the face. Also, the hands glow in the dark so even when I am in a dark room or outside, by looking at the watch, I am able to generally tell what time of day it is. I rarely leave the house without it and usually just take it off before bed and when showering. Emotional …show more content…

One of my favorite colors of metals is rose-gold so when I look at the watch, I immediately think about how much I love that color. I also loved the detailing and the shininess of the watch because that makes it look very appealing and beautiful. I also like that the general look of it matches my wardrobe and other jewelry that I already wear. Behavioural Response: The behavioural response I experience with my watch is content. It provides all of the basic functions that I ask of it. Meaning that it tells me what time of day it is, and it also tells me the date. Sometimes I feel frustration with it because it can be a bit heavy on my wrist, and it is not waterproof. As well as when the battery dies and it can no longer perform its function. When this happens, I get a little upset because I have to take it to a jewelry store to get it replaced which can be an annoying

Having a time and attendance system to keep time is important. In 1888, Willard Bundy invented the time clock, but since that time, time clocks have not changed much. That is, until recently when MinuteHound brought their fingerprint time and attendance system to revolutionize the time clock industry. Wouldn 't it be great if you could know exactly where people are at all times? On average, businesses in the United States pay around $3.7 trillion on their payroll each year.

Communication is a variable that designers manipulate in order to send out a truthful, bold, and eye catching message to their audience. Milton Glaser, an American designer, uses this medium to his advantage. His long and spontaneous career in art and design is a journey and a process that is evident through his work. With years of experience and going through processes of trial and error, Glaser’s works continue to adapt to the circumstances around him, which has made him a successful designer. Furthermore, Glaser takes risks and focuses on aspects like understanding his audience, and taking different approaches to learn from other non-design fields, to enrich his works.

Within Chapters 11 and 16 of Writing Design: Words and Objects, the authors describe different research methods that can be applicable to design by following a certain design orientated framework that approaches a problem or case in ways that text-based research could not. In Chapter 11, Chae Ho Lee outlines several research methods and processes such as: participatory action research, visual records, and peer-review. Through the examples of student work shown in the Chapter, these research methods show how problems/cases were able to achieve thorough and engaging projects based on results of research, yet ultimately done through a designable experience. The projects outlined in this Chapter showcase how a problem can be approached through

Design is a plan that exists behind an action, and it is meant to be intuitive and simple from the user’s point of view. Making a design simpler for users to understand is difficult because of the increasing complexity of modern technology and modern business environments. As for design thinking, Jon Kolko states in his article “Design Thinking Comes of Age,” that it is “empathy with users, a discipline of prototyping, and tolerance for failure chief among them.” Design thinking is a new tool that is now incorporated into the organizational culture of companies to keep up with the modern changes. Design thinking is another tool that can be added to the list of tools associated with problem solving.

Over an extended period of time, the wearable computer begins to function as a true extension of the mind and body, and no longer feels as if it is a separate entity.

I will never part with my bracelet. Given to me by my Grandmother, the silver metal bands laced together hold five amethyst stones that have retained their glamor and smooth texture for almost 68 years. Almost gladiator-like in appearance, this piece of jewelry is my favorite because it was my grandmothers and it reminds me of my past relatives. At age 13, around 1947, my grandmother and her brother and parents took a road trip on Route 66 in a 41 Cheverly to see the western states.

Design activism has been a subject of great interest for the past century. It was set forth in the “The First Things First” manifesto written by Ken Garland in 1964. This document reacts against the consumerist culture and challenges designers to use their skills to ameliorate environmental, social and culture life. Since then, design has been addressing political, social and cultural issues. In my essay, I focus on feminist design in particular.

It is commonly used in many design fields like user interface, web design, ceramics, and interior design. Designers find this with conflicting controversy because it can be perceived as simple as a décor while for some it may add comfort for more personal and attractive design (Wijaya, 2015). It began in the 1980s and the one of the earliest proponents was Steve Jobs of Apple (Interaction Design Foundation, 2016). In our technology today, the most recent application of Skeuomorphism is the arrival of smartwatch in the market that mimic the analogue watch experience in which the real world and digital are as one (Interaction Design Foundation, 2016).
