		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve given talks at a number of conferences over the years, but the 2010 IA Summit was my first time presenting both a talk and a poster. The poster session was held on Friday evening, on the first day of the conference. This really seemed to add to the energy as everyone was energized and [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Over at Boxes and Arrows, they&#8217;ve just published an article I&#8217;ve written discussing how to design interfaces that encourage the creation of &#8220;flow&#8220;. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined the term &#8220;flow&#8221; to describe the mental state where all of the subject&#8217;s attention is captured in their activity. During my master&#8217;s research, I realized that flow was related [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Colour is one aspect of an interface that prominently comes into play when we are discussing design and emotion for products, software and websites. As with anything that evokes emotion, there are both conscious and unconscious processes involved&#8230; Generally speaking, emotion is evoked unconsciously by the colours of things that have consistently existed in our [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Another way to describe the relationship between emotions is in terms of the relationship between two dimensions; value and arousal&#8230; Value and Arousal Everything we experience is either good, bad, or somewhere in between. This is called “value&#8221; or &#8220;valence&#8221;) And our experiences always occur somewhere in between being asleep or really excited. To some [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Emotions affect how we feel, how we think, what we say and what we do. We represent the objects we encounter and the experiences we have in&#8230;terms of our senses; visual, tactile, olfactory (smell), auditory and gustatory (taste). This information is associated with the feeling that was experienced when the information was encountered. Over time, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In order to understand and apply emotions to the practice of design, it&#8217;s necessary to understand what differentiates different types of emotions, and the effect of emotions on&#8230; the processing of information. For many artists and designers out there, much of this knowledge is intuitive. They &#8216;just know&#8217; how to subtly balance all the elements [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Emotions are the means employed by the mind to evaluate the organism’s internal and external environment and respond appropriately&#8230; Primitive emotional responses are elicited automatically and unconsciously. It is through education that a conscious, evaluative step is inserted into the processes whereby we respond emotionally to objects in the environment. In this way, education allows [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Over the next few weeks, I&#8217;ll be posting articles drawn directly from my master&#8217;s thesis work in emotions and HCI&#8230; The articles will begin with an introduction to emotion itself, and explore how understanding emotions can contribute to both better designers and better products. I&#8217;ll attempt to communicate a broad understanding of emotions and design. [...]
