Feelings Composed of Two Emotions

Slide Content

The slide presents the concept that emotions can combine to form different feelings, with a central example stating that joy mixed with sadness leads to melancholy, prompting the question of how other emotions combine. The slide lists six primary emotions: Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger; and connects them with lines to secondary emotions resulting from their combinations, such as Ecstasy (Joy+Joy), Grief (Sadness+Sadness), Remorse (Sadness+Disgust), Despair (Sadness+Fear), and Envy (Anger+Fear).

• Ecstasy (Joy+Joy): indicates an intense level of happiness.
• Melancholy (Joy+Sadness): represents a pensive sadness.
• Morbidness (Sadness+Disgust): suggests an unhealthy psychological state.
• Guilt (Disgust+Fear): a feeling associated with perceived wrongdoing.
• Pride (Disgust+Anger): a sense of self-satisfaction mixed with contempt.

Graphical Look

• The title is in the upper part of the slide using a bold, sans-serif font, larger than the rest of the text.
• There are five circles, each a different color, representing the five primary emotions.
• Each circle contains an icon reflecting the facial expression corresponding to the emotion it represents (e.g., smiling face for Joy).
• Between some of the circles, there are dotted lines connecting them to a secondary emotion label (e.g., Joy and Sadness connected to Melancholy).
• Each secondary emotion label is placed on a horizontal translucent banner overlaying the connecting lines.
• The overall color theme of the slide consists of dark blue, teal, purple, yellow, red, and green tones. The slide is visually engaging with a clear and vibrant color palette, designed to capture attention. The use of emoticon-style icons easily conveys the idea of different emotions and their interconnectedness.
