Course Description
Immerse yourself in the realm of design with our course, 'SensoryCraft: Exploring Emotional Materials for Designers.' Uncover the diverse world of materials, from wood and sheet metal to bamboo, plastic, glass, and ceramic. This comprehensive exploration goes beyond identifying basic properties — it delves into the emotional resonance of each material.
As a designer, you'll learn to work with and understand the textures and properties of materials, enhancing your ability to evoke specific emotions through your designs. Explore the application of different materials in everyday life, supported by real-time examples and vivid imagery.
Dive into the intricate classifications of metals, plastics, and alloys, gaining insights into sub-classifications crucial for product designers. Detailed discussions on plastics and sheet metal, including alloys, normal sheet metal, and polymers, provide a thorough understanding with real-world examples and images.
The course takes a unique turn by introducing the concept of 'emotional materials.' Discover how materials can evoke specific emotions when touched or perceived, and explore the powerful connection between materials and human emotions. From hardness to softness, roughness to smoothness, each characteristic is illustrated with visuals and examples.
Armed with this knowledge, you, as a designer, will have the ability to curate your own library of materials, creating a unique design statement that sets you apart. In today's design landscape, where distinctiveness is key, mastering the skill of evoking emotions through materials is paramount. Join us on this sensory journey and elevate your design expertise with 'SensoryCraft.
