    1. We engage in a rhetorical discourse with technology every day. Therefore, as designers, it is all the more necessary for us to understand the architectonic nature of rhetoric and it’s connections with design, specifically UX Design, as we are responsible for initiating, coordinating, and developing this very discourse with our users.

    1. Sensory Appeal

      Engaging multiple senses makes experiences more memorable and emotionally charged. In digital UX, even though we can’t tap into taste or smell, visuals, sounds, and haptics can work together to build stronger user connections.

    2. Temptation Bundling

      Temptation Bundling shows how UX can ‘sweeten’ hard tasks. Pairing something users dread with a more enjoyable experience keeps motivation high. It’s like listening to music while working out the task itself doesn’t change, but the added reward makes it easier to stick with.

    3. Progressive Disclosure

      I think Progressive Disclosure is powerful because it balances simplicity with depth. New users aren’t overwhelmed right away, but advanced users still discover more value over time. It’s like leveling up in a game features unlock as you get comfortable, which keeps users engaged instead of confused or frustrated.
