Research notes : Design for trust

So, here are some of my notes on designing for trust.

It is more and more important to look at design beyong its usability function and start to think about the emotional state of the user.

(Funny enough I just found a video from a designer talking about that 8 years ago… so yeah… it is really time then…)

As I was working on design principles for a project the other day – I started to dig into this concept of trust and design.

And I was pleasantly surprised (well, not that surprised… but still) to realise quite a lot of litterature out there with some interesting insights.
