RESEARCH
GROUP STUDY
The Appalachian State University student population served as the study sample. A survey was sent out across campus to reach the younger and more open audience. Volunteers were asked to pick an emotion and correlate it with an experience they had.
DESIGN
STRUTTIN' WITH STYLE
These results were then categorized and strategically organized within their corresponding book based on emotion.
To humanize the experiences displayed, small human figures were shown interacting with the text and design. Thier faces remain blank to mimic the anonymity of the volunteers included in the book. The only thing apparent about them is their gender.
DELIVERABLES
THE FINAL SIX
Six emotions are sorted into six books. This study revealed how emotions both tie into experiences as well as exhibit shared emotional experiences across all genders.
The results are not quantitative and cold, rather are a beautiful presentation of hundreds of students' feelings compressed into a small series. One that unifies experiences, while also recognizing the differences between us.
