Editor's Notes
#2: Emotional design and how you can increase your userbase by using emotional design when designing your app.
Design for People is a new digital experience design consultancy located in McLean Virginia (Washington DC area).
#3: We experience a wide rage of emotions. From positive emotions like Pleasure, Joy, Surprise to Negative emotions Sadness, Anger
Emotional design helps you to evoke emotions in your users: Pleasure, joy, surprise (do something unexpected and fun)
expectation (tell something interesting before the launch) Exclusivity, Anticipation
#4: Great brands know the power in making an emotional connection with their audience. Uber recently partnered with Spotify to build an emotional connection with their users.
Uber customers who have a premium account with Spotify will be able to link their playlists to the Uber app and select the music they want to hear when they get in a taxi.
#7: your product strategy and functionality need to be right before you start thinking about adding emotional design.
#9: Humans need to achieve elementary states of being, such as health and safety, before they can start thinking about higher-level needs, such as self-actualization.
Aaron Walter, Designing for Emotion
#10: Cindy Chastain, SVP User Experience & Design at MasterCard
#11: The color of the paint on the walls, the drapes, the furniture and decorations the smells the music playing, create an experience.. emotion
#12: Just because something is edible, doesnt mean youre going to want to eat it.
You can get your daily intake of vitamins and minerals from any kind of food, a piece of dry toast, or a boring sandwich

#17: When we empathize with people we understand how they feel.
When we know how people feel we can design to evoke a specific emotion.
#18: Just because something is usable doesnt mean people will want to use it.
#19: The appearance of a design makes up only one level of visual design the visceral design. The behavioral level relates to how the product works, and the reflective level relates to the long-term impact of the design.
#20: Your mom always told you to make a good first impression.
Job interview or Blind date
You never have a second chance to make a good first impression
#21: Which guy would you rather do business with? Quick decisions based on emotions (positive and negative) Every decision you make on a daily basis is chosen with emotion emotion is the gut instinct, a gut reaction
The Halo Effect is when one trait is used to make an overall judgment of that person or thing. It supports rapid decisions, even if biased ones. The Halo Effect is a well documented social-psychology phenomenon that causes people to be biased in their judgments by transferring their feelings about one attribute of something to other, unrelated, attributes. A tall or good-looking person will be perceived as being intelligent and trustworthy, even though there is no logical reason to believe that height or looks correlate with intelligence and honesty.

#23: People will not buy something from a site or app they dont trust.

#24: Word of mouth The most effective, by far. If Ive heard good things about you from people I know, the entire relationship changes. You get the benefit of the doubt. (brand)
Direct interaction 足 Have you previously interacted with me in some way beyond the passive? The way I feel about that will alter our interaction.
Graphics What do you look like? What does it remind me of?
Tone of voice A variation of graphics, it has to do with your copy, with your video, with the urgency of your offer.
#25: When people endorse products they love through Solebrity on their social networks, they get a cut of the deal. This is an app built on trust through word of mouth.
Solebrity also makes people feel good about themselves, theyre like a celebrity on their social network with their own endorsement deals.
#26: Direct interaction 足 Have you previously touched me or interacted with me in some way beyond the passive? The way I feel about that ping will alter our interaction.
If this is the first time you're reaching out, you can bet a piece of spam is read differently than something that comes via mutual introduction.
#28: Consumer trust was the most critical challenge for Mint.com when it launched. Its crisp, clean and polished visual design helps evoke trust.
#29: Tone of voice A variation of graphics, it has to do with your copy, with your video, with the urgency of your offer. Urgency rarely leads to trust.
#30: MailChimp, party pooper mode only 0.007% people want to poop on the party!
#31: Add personality to your products.
What do they look like?
How do they speak to you?
How do they behave?
When you think of a product as a person, you give it personality.

#39: Internal Design Goals know your values and visions and what image you want to communicate
Prospective Users know who you are designing for. Your future users will be the people who purchase and use your app, so make sure you know what they want. Create personas to understand the demographics, affinities, needs and wants of your target audience.
Context of use Know the situations and circumstances of your users when they will be using the app. Understanding the context helps you understand your users better so you can communicate more effectively
