Abstract [en]
During the last decade the interaction design area has shifted to an increased focus on aspects of user experience including aesthetic and affective qualities in the interaction, since usability alone has proven to be insufficient to ensure quality in the user experience. The increased focus on affect has mainly been explored in sensory affect, however affect in aesthetics has been rather unexplored, there might be a need for new methods and tools that support this type of qualities in interaction design. Therefore this article aims to contribute to the unexplored field of affective aesthetics by presenting and evaluating a design proposal for a tool which aims to facilitate the communication around affective aesthetics in design teams.
