Emotion is found as an important role in users experience and it is important to manipulate emotions in designing the design outcome which can elicit users’ pleasant emotions. As a result, scholarswould like to develop a better system to understand how the user experience could be further enriched and optimized in “user-orientated" approach which is believed to elicit the emotion of users. Among these design aspects, not much research has explored how emotion could apply in visual/graphic design to carry out its corresponding functions in user experience design of instant messaging application.
