Emotional Design for Communication: Mini Project

(Angry Comb, Sad Spoon, Jealous Pen, Happy Shoe and Embarrased Mp3)
Using visual representation, I attempted to represent 5 different emotions within 5 different products as part of a 'mini project' concerning human behaviour and their attitudes and feelings. Just basically to try to grasp the raw aesthetics of what I believe captures these emotions and to get myself to think about how these preconceptions change from person to person.
Also looking into communication between people, interaction and reflective design.

So here is the deal...

My 3rd year project was all bout scent technology and designing a device that would bring people together using smells.
The theory was that if smells can trigger memories, they can also trigger emotions and therefore links to other people, places, anything.
Commnication has broken down over the years, leaving people to share their emotions with devices which is then translated into a digital version of a human response.
I designed a device that a person could carry with them which would emitt a smell on command, triggering a more human response to a digital message.
My aim from now, is to go back and take my project apart, research it fuller and come up with a complete solution.
