Emotional and Environmental Design in Product Development

Emotional Design

One of the factors influencing consumer decisions to buy a product is its design. Design encompasses space formation, the construction of various products, the creation of residential environments (interiors, buildings, and equipment), and graphic design of logos, symbols, posters, panels, product packaging, labels, office visual style, and brochures. Mass production of uniform items may not appeal to customers who want to stand out; for this reason, it is necessary to modify the
