Touch
It is a proven fact that babies need to be touched to survive. Touch is one of the most powerful ways to make a connection with another person. We benefit from the comfort of a friend's hand on our shoulder during a tough time in life. Touch teaches us lessons, it connects us. Everything we do or say has the power to touch someone's life in a positive or negative way. Design has that same ability.
Smell
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and remember the smell of a spring day after the rain. Fresh, clean and crisp. What about those smells that are associated with Thanksgiving? Can you smell it now? There are smells we recognize without anyone saying a word. Those smells tell us a lot. If a match is lit in another room, it won't be long before someone asks, "Do you smell something burning?" We make such strong associations with smells. Good designers can bring about those same connections. Take a deep breath near a rose bush in the summer. Smell!
