J is right, prasad. this group is for all. i personally do not believe in "country club membership exclusivity". but i also believe that the exclusivity is a...
Thanks Vikram, Anoop, and as for spreading the word... already at it. You know, I have been trying to get a group setup here in Delhi. A Usability group, where...
Cheers! Looks like my lonely days are gone! Marching ahead just to make things usable doesn’t seem to rock much. Let’s evangelize that emotional magic and...

Hi Guys everything seems to be nice and cosy here....so let me spoil the party by asking a few questions...;-) does DESIGN need a qualifier like "Emotional"?...
Dear saumitri, HI In fact you are absolutely right when you say that.I guess the two words got there after norman made a splash into the waters of design with...
I have to agree with you Saumitri ! Design should not be qualified as "usable" design , "emotional" design etc. They are not exclusive of each other ! But...
Well of course, most of us being into design professions (or close to it), I don’t think we are designing or attempting to redefine design here. If we...
Hi Saumitri, <<does DESIGN need a qualifier like "Emotional"? isn't all design supposed to have that in it? >>> Yes, all design is supposed to be emotional. In...

Yes, the 'brand' is created with the User in mind. With time and cultural shifts, design changes. Does the Gillete Mach 3 appeal more to a techno-savvy, than...
I would refrain from otherwise voting for this product, but assuming the mature audiences in discussion, and considering this gadget as a unique example of...
Coming from an advertising background I can understand how emotional design played a part in the creation of a brand. But emotional design can just help your...
