Course Overview

As the ultimate goal of User Experience Design (UXD) is to invoke specific sentiments in customers to enable other parts of the organisation/company ecosystem to flourish, a User Experience Designer must understand what components of Experience can be created and molded for maximum impact. These components include Perceptions, Emotions and Sensations. Each of these components can be influenced in different ways, either separately or in concert, to achieve the desired sentiment in the end user’s mind.
