New design method has been required for web designers to grasp the proper emotion, impression, and feeling of a web site and reflect these elements in web design. It is certain that such a new methodology can be a useful design tool, although web designers have only relied on their intuition and experience to induce users to perceive specific emotion of web sites. In this study, Kansei Engineering Type Ⅰ (Nagamachi, 2002 and Park, 2000) method was applied to develop the methodology. One hundred thirty six web sites believed to convey emotions effectively were first selected by recommendation of professional web designers and twenty two web sites were finally chosen and evaluated using questionnaire. The web sites were then objectively and quantitatively assessed by measuring the degree of utilization of the design elements, balance, overall density, and homogeneity. We examined the cause-and-effect between the results of emotional and quantitative analysis by multiple regression and introduced the design methodology based on the examination. The research method and procedures applied to this study would be applicable to design studies related to the emotional inducement.

시스템의 복잡도가 증가하고 컨버젼스 제품들이 늘어나면서 기존의 사용자 인터페이스 설계 방법론으로 미래의 사용자 환경을 예측하기엔 한계를 보인다. 또한, 제품 개발 시 관련 부서간 협업의 비중이 늘어난 반면 커뮤니케이션을 통해 얻을 수 있는 효과가 감소하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 사용자 경험 설계 방법론으로써 PACT 분석을 응용한 시나리오 기반 디자인(Scenario-Based Design)을 채택하여 디지털 가전제품간의 네트워크 사용 환경에 대한 개념 디자인 방향을 효율적으로 제시하였다. PACT 분석은 People, Activity, Context, Technology 등 4 가지 요소를 시나리오 전개의 중요한 인자로 삼고 있는 방법론으로써 미래 사용 환경에 대한 예측과 체계적인 접근을 가능하게 했다. 또한, 다양한 전공자들로 구성된 관련 부서간의 커뮤니케이션 도구로 활용되어 각 분야의 전문성을 결과물에 반영하기에 효율적이었다. 추후 연구과제로는 본 방법론을 체계화하여 복잡하고 예측하기 어려운 도메인을 위한 사용자 중심의 설계 프로세스를 구성할 예정이다.

This study suggests user-friendly design fiction method applying user-centered design process. Design fiction is a method that predicts futures from design perspective with critical discourses and physical representation. It has been regarded importantly in HCI and interaction design realms as aesthetical and experiential approaches, yet not firmly established. Especially, it has not been considered from user-centered perspective which considers users and related problems. Anticipatory design based on current problems which predicts futures and defines design-oriented scenario is becoming significant. Therefore, this study regards design fiction method in relation to prior design also should consider user-centered perspective, not just experimental approaches. In this regards, this study tries to apply user-centered process, specifically affordances which lead more intuitive and direct impact on users into conventional design fiction process. This study led junior students in visual communication major into design fiction process with specific topics and the Design with Intent Toolkit amongst practices of creating affordances so as to develop new design fiction process with its diverse outcomes. Throughout the process, this study aims to suggest alternative user-friendly design fiction method beyond its critical and experiential approaches.

Recently, as service design was introduced to improve the quality of public service, there have been many attempts to improve various public service. In the process, various stakeholders including general citizens are participating in the design improvement activity through a method of design service but the parties are facing a difficulty in the progress because of a limitation of time and budget and a lack of professionalism among the member while the parties are planning the process and activities based on the professional service design method. Persona method that is usually used in the process of service design is encountering a limitation as well. Also, there are continuous attempts to understand the limitation of persona and apply an alternative research method among service and UX designers. For this reason, this thesis is to recognize the limitation in deduction method of traditional persona and suggests a fast and economical production method of Rapid Persona speaking for the goal of users and overcoming the limitation. Furthermore, by applying the suggested method of making Rapid Persona to an actual public service design project of National Statistical Office, the test through an empirical study was conducted. This was conducted with the purpose of progressing a discussion in the respect of actual application beyond a banal discussion. Through the research method suggested in this study, it is expected to overcome the limitation of time and a lack of professionalism and, based on these, can be used in the process of various service design and UX design as establishing persona in a fast and easy way.

기본적으로 모든 소비자들은 조금씩 다르며, 제품은 그 차이를 극대화 시킴으로써 다양한 소비를 촉진하게 된다. 이와 같은 시장 세분화와 포지셔닝 전략은 디자인 경영에 있어 매우 중요한 전략적 단계라 할 수 있으며, 기업의 소비자 분석의 목적이기도 하다. 다차원 척도법은 군집 분석에서와 마찬가지로 자료에 내재된 구조를 찾아내어 자료를 함축적으로 표현하고자 하는 자료축약형 다변량 분석 기법이다. 패턴 분류의 수량화를 이용하는 POSA(Partial Order Scalogram Analysis)는 MSA(Multidimensional Scalogram Analysis)의 구조화된 방법으로 디자인 전략을 수립하는 단계에서 소비자의 성향을 보다 세분화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 디자인 리서치 단계에 POSA 방법론을 적용하였을 때 소비자 유형 분류가 가능하다고 보고, 창의적 디자인 컨셉의 도출에 어느 정도 역할을 하는지 알아보고자 함을 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 부분적 계층 분석법인 POSA 분석방법을 통하여 사용자의 계층을 세분화하는 방법을 고안하고, 이를 분석함으로써 소비자의 유형을 분류하여 디자인 포지셔닝과 방향을 제시하는 방법론을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 설문조사를 통하여 POSA 기법을 이용한 소비자 유형 분류 방법이 고안되었고, 이를 기반으로 모바일 기기를 위한 프로젝트에 실제 디자인 사례로 적용되었으며, 이러한 소비자 유형 분석을 통하여 타겟 유저의 시나리오 작성 단계에서 창의적 발상을 지원한다는 점을 발견할 수 있었다.

As the importance of interface became emphasized recently, function of icon as an element that helps operation and formative function as an aesthetic element are becoming emphasized. Specially, various research methodologies for measuring the understanding degree of users are being attempted in functional aspect, however, they are facing limitations as user evaluation method of quantitative investigation for statistical analysis became overly dependent on the consent from majority. To overcome such limitation, a methodology of measuring sensibility as aesthetic impression or individuality based on the system of emotion or system of understanding of users and designing icon based on the measurement is being attempted continuously. Therefore, this study suggested an evaluation method using reminding words and conducted an empirical study to apply results on the icon design by applying the evaluation method on icon design of printing products to measure the user sensibility and understanding level. Through this process, this study intended to research summaries on the design evaluation method which based on the evaluation of user sensibility and understanding level and to debate effective design methodologies through the process of applying these summaries on the project. The intention was to progress discussion from practical application perspectives apart from the textbook type discussion by applying a research methodology through concrete cases. This study objectified sensibility and understanding level of users in the icon design aspect, suggested a methodology that can be applied on the design, and it is expected to be used when progressing the icon and GUI design.

This article analyzes two different strategies that both aim at creating innovative design or problem solving: design thinking and action learning. User-driven innovation strategy that has become more and more popular during the last decades is "design thinking". Based on designerly methods and principles, this strategy was developed by the design consultancy IDEO in the late 90s. Action learning is a pragmatic and moral philosophy based on a deeply humanistic view of human potential that commits us, via experiential learning, to address the intractable problems of organizations and societies. This paper provides a structured analysis and comparison of the two innovation strategies-design thinking and action learning-with the goal to identify potentials to enrich either of the two by merging or adapting specific parts or aspects. Although there are significant differences in both strategies, there are also several similarities in methodology and process design. This article compares process models for action learning and design thinking and highlights the specific differences and similarities. As a result, we suggested a union model of action learning and design thinking, and verified a this model through a case study. We complemented the process of team building and reflection of action learning for union model. Also, we statistically verified through a case study to validate the superiority of the design thinking model which complemented action learning. This article contributes to a better understanding of both-design thinking and action learning, and it may help to improve either of the two strategies to foster social innovation.
