“Art is nothing more than creating an emotion in your own form.”

8 Ways to Evoke Positive Emotions in Visual Design

1. Focus on a Single Emotion - If you can establish a single primary emotion, that eliminates a lot of non-ideal design work, and the targeted sentiment becomes your design objective.

2. Focus on Brand Attributes and Product Benefits - Basically, ask what the brand is at its very center, its heart.

3. Focus on the Audience - Knowing the target market of your client will help you even more in understanding how to evoke the right emotions.

4. Anticipate Concerns – Consider any concerns your client may have with the concept.

5. Create Metaphorical Comparisons - A metaphorical comparison in design is done by comparing the brand or product to a seemingly unrelated item.

6. Use a Symbol - Sometimes an emotion can be conveyed with a simple symbol.

7. Create a Character - A mascot as a visual is a great way to personify a brand.

8. Choose the Right Elements - The right concept with the wrong design elements will end up creating mixed signals.

Make problem-solving the priority The colors, the creativity, the endless possibilities for how to make a product better, easier, sexier. Hands down, the BEST thing about design, is that it's fun. Really fun. The problem with it being fun, is that you could literally spend hours obsessing over fonts, and never solve a single problem for your users. Great designers relish the details, but never lose sight of the bigger picture. They know that while tools and tricks may come and go, the big picture is always the same: Solving a problem for your user. Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which platform yo...
