Use Your Senses

All Five Senses

The most lively writing I’ve written and read is when the author uses all five senses. The most remarkable inventions stimulate all five senses. The best stories incorporate all five senses.

Iscream is delicious tasting, but there’s something special about taking the label off the cone (touch) and to watching how the Iscream gets scooped from the tub (see). But there’s something lacking in the smell and hearing department. How could you change that? How can you appeal to all five senses?

  • Touch
  • Smell
  • Taste
  • Hear
  • See

Jinsop Lee has a great Ted talk about designing for all five senses: basically he answers why sex is so good.

The five senses are worth considering before you ship your next project. It might be what it takes to turn something great into something remarkable.
