Pleasant things work better

In this talk from 2003, design critic Don Norman turns his incisive eye toward beauty, fun, pleasure and emotion, as he looks at design that makes people happy. He names the three emotional cues that a well-designed product must hit to succeed.

This is exactly why we want to make our websites fun, delightful, and pleasurable.




Don, says the three ways that good designs make us happy

Visceral Level - deep in inward subconscious feelings

Behavioral - the feeling of control

Reflective - the voice in your head that lets you know how to feel

Yellow Sticky Notes

After realizing that yellow sticky note "to do" lists were consuming his life, animation filmmaker Jeff Chiba Stearns decided to visually self-reflect on his filmmaking journey by animating on the same sticky notes that caused him to ignore major world events for the last nine years. Animation meditation is blended with image, text, and an original musical score by Genevieve Vincent through the creation of a classically animated experimental film that was drawn straight ahead with only a black ink pen on over 2300 yellow sticky notes.
