AbstractWith the development of time, people have more emotional needs for interior spaces. Interior lighting design is an extremely important part of interior design, especially in children's healthcare. In order to meet the needs of child patients and healthcare professionals for ward lighting, it is necessary to comply with various standards while also designing emotionally, emphasizing the positive effects of light on the psychology and health of the user. A literature research approach was used to combine the current status of interior lighting in healthcare spaces, culminating in the integration of the concept of emotional design into the lighting design of children's wards.

Emotional design and evaluation of children’s furniture based on AHP-TOPSIS

Children’s physical and mental health development is highly related to furniture and integrating the emotional design concept into children’s furniture design helps cultivate children’s personalities and promote healthy growth. The model framework of children’s furniture emotional design was constructed from the instinctive level, behavioral level, and reflective level. The comprehensive weight of the design factors was calculated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and three schemes were designed according to the priority of the design factors. The evaluation matrix was constructed by combining the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and the distances of each scheme from the positive and negative ideal solutions were calculated, and the optimal scheme was selected according to the relative proximity ranking of the three schemes. The experimental results verified the importance of the reflective level in the three levels of the emotional design theory and emphasized the key role of emotional design in children’s furniture. Therefore, the evaluation system based on AHP and TOPSIS is feasible, which can effectively reduce the influence of subjective factors, make the design decision more scientific, and provide a new reference approach for furniture design.

Model Development Effect of Emotional Design and Human Performance on The Use of The Teman Bus Apps

Teman Bus was established by the Ministry of Transportation to improve the safety, security, and convenience of mobilization. Teman Bus services can be accessed through the Teman Bus application (Teman Bus Apps), which makes it easier for consumers to search for bus information. However, the design of the application is not good, this can impact on reducing consumer interest in continuing to use the application. The concept of emotional design and human performance has a significant relationship with consumer intention to use technology. The research purposes are to determine the effect of emotional design on consumer intention to use the Teman Bus Apps and the effect of human performance on consumer trust in using the Teman Bus Apps. The study method was based on an online survey questionnaire and completing tasks for students in Surabaya who have used the Teman Bus Apps. The present research results reveal that usability and information quality variables as a representation of the emotional design aspect had a significant effect on students’ intention to use the Teman Bus Apps, while the human performance aspect did not have a significant effect.

Sustainable Urban Facilities Design Based on Emotional Narratives

Emotional narration can provide innovative ideas for sustainable urban facilities. The design of sustainable urban facilities starts from the concept of emotional design, focuses on improving the user’s experience, implements innovative design process, extends the product life cycle, utilizes new sustainable materials, combines emotional factors with product functions, and gets more citizens participate in the design process. The research result shows that the gradual emotional narration thinking change from a single dimension to multiple dimensions can promote the design innovation, upgrades service of urban public facilities, and enhances the connection between users and urban facilities. It can be seen that a series of sustainable urban facilities designed based on emotional narration can serve as effective carriers for communication between urban residents and the city. Sustainable urban facilities with humanistic care are dedicated to making urban residents realize they cannot only enjoy the urban facilities, but also participate in the creation of better social environment

Game Design for Emotions: a practicebased research on the design of game emotional experience

This research focuses on the development of emotionally directed gaming experiences demonstrating how the same game, when subjected to targeted audiovisual changes that do not affect its rules, objectives, and mechanics, can provide different emotional experiences. These experiences are related to the psychological and player motivation profiles of each individual. To this end, the research was structured into four main parts.
 The first, theoretical-conceptual, explored game design, seeking to find structures and elements that make up a game and the experience it proposes. A bibliographic review was carried out on: the study of emotions, including different classification approaches; a study on the relationships established between player, avatar, and game environment; and the concept of emotional design, proposed by Don Norman.
 The second part, analytical-investigative, consisted of the case study of three games (Journey, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Thomas Was Alone) with different gaming experience proposals. They were analyzed using a methodology based on game design elements and their relationship with the levels of emotional design. In this way, it was possible to understand how the design of each game contributes to the creation/development of different emotional experiences.
 In the third part, a field research was carried out to collect the psychological (Big Five) and player motivation (Quantic Foundry) profiles, through the application of questionnaires. The participants were then divided into groups according to their profiles (psychological and player motivation) to participate in the second part of this stage. Based on the information gathered by the previous steps, a short game was developed. From it, changes in its design were made to generate modified versions that, maintaining the game structure and essential rules, proposed different experiences to the players. All games had a player performance information collection system developed specifically for the research.
 The games were then made available to participants from the previous stages, who answered a final questionnaire. The responses, as well as information about the players’ performance, were used both to assess how each game affected the perception and to verify whether the psychological and motivation profiles of the player help to understand the emotional experiences of the game. Thus, the fourth part consisted of putting the knowledge into practice and testing the hypotheses developed from the previous steps and listed below.
 The research showed that 1) the visual and sound aesthetic influence of a game can have a considerable impact on the experience of playing, even if it does not affect the game mechanically; 2) The Big Five psychological profile and the player motivation profile are related to the emotional gaming experiences and can be used to better understand them.

A New Approach to Teaching Emotional Design

Emotional design focuses on providing intended users with a positive emotional experience. Thus far, the concept of emotional design has primarily been restricted to the fields of research and industry. Most professionals using emotional design slowly acquired the required skills by experience and without direct education. Teaching emotional design to design students has been overlooked due to its difficulty. This research introduces a new approach to teaching emotional design, which aims to prevent negative influences from being added to the products created by design students. A systematic method is introduced to make it easier for inexperienced design students to grasp emotional design. Students are first taught proper methods of data collection to determine users’ emotional requirements. Students are then taught how to summarize the data, as well as develop feasibility testing strategies to obtain promising ideas. The proposed teaching approach for emotional design has been proven efficient in the case study course conducted in this research. Graduate-level design students learned how to design products according to users’ emotional requirements. The students successfully produced several designs that clearly provided positive user experiences.

Consumer Purchasing Behaviour of Emotional Design in e-Commerce

When we touched about consumer purchasing behaviour through emotional design, we refer to the three significant attributes; emotion, reasoning, and perception. Then, when we explain further about the emotional design, we are about to touch on the three levels of design; visceral, behavioural, and reflective, respectively. Designing something means designing the emotion and thus, create a vivid and symbolic image of high artistic value. The concept of emotional design is applicable to e-Commerce, an area that is booming nowadays as a result of the significant competition of technology. The findings in this research can be used as a reference in developing an impactful website which will trigger the purchase on the Internet.

A Product as a Poem: A Case Study of a Bird-shaped Teapot Design Based on Traditional Chinese Poetic Aesthetics

<p>The concept of emotional design has become the main focus in the current trend of perceptual consumption. After reviewing the historical development of art, we determined that traditional Chinese art emphasizes subjective expression and favor poetics. Poetics are image based, and personal feelings are used to analyze and understand external objects. These feelings are expressed implicitly through symbols or metaphors. Classical Chinese poetic aesthetic theory is based on nearly 2,000 years of history and, thus, comprises a myriad of valuable ideas. The creator of the bird-shaped teapot has extensive experience researching and creating Chinese art, and drew on these experiences and knowledge to craft the teapot. However, the purpose of the design was to achieve Donald A. Norman's reflective level of emotional design. In addition, the teapot was designed to exhibit traditional Oriental charm while conforming to modern style aesthetics while the design strategies were inspired by traditional Chinese aesthetics. Modern style aesthetics were introduced using a design strategy derived from the theories of Cezanne. The artist analyzed its design features and compared it with the research results of contemporary scholars, in pursuit of new understanding. Finally, a questionnaire was used to understand consumer feelings of poetic design and whether this strategy would be received well in the art and design market. The results of the case study indicate that a poetic design based on traditional Chinese artistic techniques can be implemented.</p>

Selling Cars through Visual Merchandising: Proposing Emotional Design Approach

Abstract Retail giants in every other industry have extensively used sophisticated visual merchandising techniques but they have been grossly underutilized in the auto industry. For this reason, there are no specific guidelines or manual provided to utilize visual merchandising elements inside the car showroom especially in automotive scene. By using strategic visual merchandising, car dealers can turn prospects into buyers. However, the visual merchandising elements must capture the emotion and perception of customers. Therefore, this study aims to identify the roles of visual merchandising inside a car showroom as stimuli that attract customers at the point of sale i.e. the car dealership and proposing emotional design approach in designing car showroom. By means of the proposed conceptual model, it should complement the current design approach in enhancing consumer purchasing behavior from the design perspectives. The conceptual framework has emerged from emotional design concept that allows the creation of desirable showroom design. As a result, this concept can be a guideline to facilitate marketer and dealer in designing a car showroom through visual merchandising elements.

Basic Principles and New Methods on Emotional Product Design
