Experiencing Design 2

Bouncing off a previous post, experiencing design can be enhanced in multiple ways. In addition to enhancing the physical sense to improve experiences emotional senses can be enhanced as well. Every time we see a movie our emotions are grabbed, whether it be in a chick flick or an action movie or anything in between. Use of interesting characters, good story, appropriate music, and relatable situations can all be used to capture the emotions of the viewer. In the experiential design industry, emotions are a key way to improve an experience. Disney has capitalized on using their lovable characters to capture the emotions of thousands of children and adults. When theme parks create memorable experiences (example: taking guest's pictures as they enter a theme park) they are producing a special moment and memory that will recall certain emotions to guests whenever they remember it. So, emotions are also a key tool for experiential designers to use.
