To create emotional links telling stories

Treating things with care, ‘simmering’, focusing on details and creating emotions, make our projects more than just a Brand Identity or a Website. We tell stories, and in doing so, we also create emotions. By telling a story, we make customers feel closer and more interested in the projects. It is not enough to have functional ideas to make them work. It is essential, in order to be effective, that users feel themselves to be special when interacting with the specific project or service. Not by limiting them to simply using it, but by helping them establish an emotional connection with it. We are talking about the quality that the product can have and the satisfaction that it can generate when people interact with it.

A clear example of this is one of our latest projects, the web design for Cap Rocat. Beyond an aesthetic website, there is a project where we have worked on a more pleasant, intimate and personal experience. In this way, users create a link to the website that goes beyond its functionality or aesthetics, they enjoy surfing through it, entering the ‘Cap Rocat world’ and letting themselves be carried away by the essence of the hotel from the first moment they enter the website. Analyzing the experience of use as a process, which lasts from the moment they come into contact with the web, while they navigate and until they stop being on it.

Design must be enjoyable and a design that arouses emotions makes your product better, since emotions affect the valuation, perception and memorization that we can have of it. Let’s not forget that we form mental images of things according to the emotions they generate in us.

Should we then reflect on the extent to which we use design as a marketing tool? Perhaps design goes beyond developing a product with an attractive aesthetic to generate more demand. Design can be much more than that, design must also be able to move people. It is our responsibility to think about the emotional impact of our designs. And we should treat it as a way to improve the relationship between people, products and services.
