Lessons from Post Box Design & Development

by Janaki Krishnamoorthi, B. K. Chakravarthy ...

Series series Engineering (R0)
The book provides an in-depth knowledge on how a product is designed and developed by Product Designers. This has been achieved through a case study of one product – the Post Box. This product was chosen for the study primarily due to its simple and non-technical nature as that would make it easy for the readers to comprehend the design process. At the same time the Post Box posed all the ... Read more

The Neuroscientific Basis of Successful Design

How Emotions and Perceptions Matter

by Marco Maiocchi ...

Series series Engineering (R0)
The term “design” today encompasses attributes of artifacts that go beyond their intended functions, imbuing them with new meanings. Those meanings are deeply related to the emotions perceived by the users. This book investigates the findings deriving from the neurosciences that are relevant to design. Drawing upon up-to-date neuroscientific knowledge, the authors define what an emotion is, ... Read more
