What do they do to keep you inside a product? Experience design can be used to nudge users into completing actions that make companies money. In this workshop, we will learn what the so-called “Dark Patterns” are, how psychological techniques are used to make users take a given action, emotional appeals, and the difference between design and marketing, looking at the gap between need versus consumption and retention.
