Question
Good day
Can you give me a list of as many techniques on can use in graphic design to communicate emotion and invoke feeling? Also the names of  any good reference books specifically on the theme of communicating emotion and feeling with graphic design would be appreciated.

Answer
Hi Sunil,

I did a Google search for "emotion in graphic design" and found many good articles, blogs and examples on the subject. That's what I suggest you do.

My favorite book on the subject, although not just about emotion, is: Creative Advertising by Mario Pricken.
