Step 2: Plan

Visual and haptic design will make people perceive things effectively and receive the information quickly. It not only plays role in linking up the sense organ with mind, but manifests the need in its' interactive and the emotion factor. This kind of complete tactus and emotion experience will strengthen the exchange between the graphic design and the person and leaving the unforgettable happiness and memory with spectator.

In last step, I explored visual feeling and the mood conditions of different texture in people's daily life. I found patterns of the natural texture in that process, which also are applied in graphic design, such as, layout design, book design and so on.

In this step, I continued to collect the haptic presentation of object which comes from people’s daily life. And then, I try to use haptic design to express people’s emotion.

Inspiration: I did some practice to express raindrop: water, oil and wax left the trace on the different paper. However, when people read a move or sad poetry, they would be tearing up. The words of the poetry would become blurred, and the tear would appear on the paper like raindrop. This visual effect not only tells people the content about the book, but also could show types of the article, such as: comedy or tragedy.

In addition, I read a dissertation which called “About the tactile presentation in the package design” last week. This dissertation explores the tactile presentation in package design, including Comfortable package design, Interaction package design and Emotion package design. Meanwhile, it analyses tactile presentation with package materials and package craft, which give me an inspiration to begin to explore my project.
