CH 7
In chapter 7 Maeda talks about the importance of emotion in design. Feeling in design is a very important aspect. If there is no emotional connection to the design, then it can be hard for a viewer to relate to the design. I think that feeling and emotion in design can also help to communicate a message more clearly. For example, Maeda talks about how typewritten smileys can communicate emotions that are hard to express through just text alone.
CH 8
Chapter 8 talks about putting trust. The question is how much trust are we willing to put into design and things around us? Maeda uses an example of Google’s search feature, “I’m feeling lucky”, in the future being able to guess exactly what website the viewer wants to go to. I personally would not want to leave this much control up to technology.
