Design triggers feelings that affect our behaviours. While brands may look and feel unique. Research shows they’re actually made from a core palette of feelings. It's how well you blend them that sets a brand apart.
Brands that communicate more effectively, do so because they intuitively use the most 'affective' blend of archetypal feelings and needs to tell their story, knowingly or not. Archetypes are NOT mythical characters, that can mean anything or nothing at all. They are embodied emotions that triggers specific thoughts and behaviors embedded into the language of design. Making archetypes the universal language of feelings through which brands communicate primary human needs.
