Deep Meaning Design

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Designing artifacts that generate deep personal meaning is tricky work.  

life-story2.jpgAutobiographical memories (AM) or memories about our personal history are a key component of self identity. As such designs that activate AM can often generate waves of deep meaning and mental energy.  Tokens, mementos, family heirlooms and retro designs are common examples. But the opportunities for cognitive design go deeper.

Some designers go further and make use so-called flash bulb memories  or AM burnt deeply and in rich detail into our brains. These range from the first encounter with our true love to presidential assassinations.

I’ve extract 8 design guidelines from the book and am going to test them out.
