The conscious and unconscious origins of emotions are explained, while real-world examples show how the design you create affects the emotions of your users.This isn’t just another design theory book – it’s imminently practical. Design for Emotion introduces the A.C.T. Model (Attract/Converse/Transact) a tool for helping designers create designs that intentionally trigger emotional responses.

Review :
"Like good journalists, the authors produce chapters that seek to answer why, what, when, where, and how one designs for emotion.This results in a nicely produced package of theory and practice. Both novices and experts need to read this book. I highly recommend it."--ComputingReviews.com, April 23, 2013 "Intended for creative professionals, Van Gorp and Adams have teamed up to present a practical guide for creating effective designs that succeed in emotion and personality to appeal to consumer's needs."--Reference and Research Book News, December 2012
