One of the principal assumptions behind the launching of this new journal is that Design can be identified as a subject in its own right, independent of the various areas in which it is applied to parctical effect. The Editorial Board is therefore…

In this paper I propose that only part of our experience of events, and products in particu- lar, should be coined aesthetic. This part, the aesthetic experience, is restricted to the (dis)pleasure that results from sensory perception. The main part…

There seems to have been a recent slight increase in the number of design papers with the word, evolution in their titles. Unfortunately, these papers are either vague about what is meant by this word, or they use the word in a non-Darwinian sense…

Emotional design, i.e., designing with an intention to evoke or to prevent a particular emotion, can be facilitated by understanding the processes underlying emotions. A promising approach to understanding these processes in the current…
