Designing Pleasurable Product

Design... does design just simply creating a object aesthetically? or its solving problems? this is a really subjective question but how a product being design for impress people and pleasure it's user? Answer is fulfill user requirement and beyond usability. Pleasurable Design is divided four categories; Physio-Pleasure, Psycho-Pleasure, Socio-Pleasure, and Ideo-Pleasure.

Physio-Pleasure
Human has 5 senses; see, hear, taste, smell, touch senses. This is the most basic interaction that ones product interact with its user. A product that visually looks good will attract a person, but a particular design it only attract certain people, that group of user which has been magnified by the aesthetic value of and product will most probably explore it. whilst user hold the product, the feels of touching happen right now following by another senses.

Psycho-Pleasure
This relates to peoples cognitive and emotion reactions to products, while older people using the brand new Iphone, most of them facing the problem of using it since it is not design for older people. the touch screen the interface, it will drive them frustration. A good product should work by the expectation of user, designer should consider user knowledge, ability and disability.

Fun Design Project : Design Makes Happy

I have recently decided what i gonna to do for my Final Design Project, something different, something that I've never did. It's Design Emotion! This is kinda complex and i am personally passion about it, it evoke my curiosity. How a product itself gonna impress people? how products interact with its user? how how how and how???

“Design and Emotions Have a Key Role in the Next Generation of Goods and Services”. This is a statement given by Miguel Tito Malone, who has done a research on design and emotion. Emotional design is potentially to be a new design movement in this new decade, design is everywhere, and it is obviously become more important than ever. Nowadays people buy things not merely because of its function but also how its looks like. Besides, Emotion is also everywhere; you can see a group of people laughing, a person suffering depression hiding somewhere in the corner and many others.
In this busy world, people live in the stressful environment; most of them are emotionally unstable, worrying about yesterday and tomorrow. Having a bad emotion brings a lot of bad things, it leads to unhealthy life, it will make everything goes bad, make failure, couldn’t concentrate, being problematic, and it easily become depression. That is why I believe that, being emotional positive is extremely important because it could affect people daily performance and you will have a happier life. What I trying to say is Negativity attracts more negativity just as positivity attracts more positivity.
