This study did derive a characteristic of a cover design through considering a concept, a function and components of a cover design based on a literature study and through analyzing cases of the best-seller cover designs for the literature section from 1999 to 2002. In terms of a reader's preference for a cover design according to an age and sex of a reader, it tried to suggest a condition and a method of a book-cover design through a questionnaire survey and the image evaluation. In a survey of the preference for a cover design, there was the difference of interest degree in a kind of a book, a place to buy a book and a cover design according to an age and sex. In addition, it was shown that a woman prefers the stylish typography, and both a man and a woman prefer the cool color. However, except these two, the reason why there is no difference in preference for visual elements are that a cover design is an integrative image comprising several elements. Accordingly, through the Semantic Differential Method, it carried out the evaluation as to a cover design as an integrative image. As a result of that, an abstract image was shown to be difficult to convey a meaning because of its fall in clarity. Further, a cover design mainly comprising the stylish typography gained the high evaluation in unique and clarity. It is thought to be attributable to the easiness to achieve a goal of seeing and reading in a cover design in which an image and the typography are balanced, rather than the excessive visual. Even though the visual is excellent, there was difference from what having been excellent in conveying a meaning, which is a functional aspect. This study tried to examine, limiting it only to a visual element. It will be hereafter required to proceed with a study on the influence on a reader's preference according to material, bookbinding and a form of book which are elements comprising a cover design.

인쇄산업에서 디자인 작업은 인쇄공정 전체의 방향을 결정하는 매우 중요한 단계다. 또한 셀 수 없을 만큼 다양한 고려사항에 대비해야 하는 복잡한 과정이기도 하다. 이렇듯 디자인 작업에서 신경 써야 할 점은 한두 가지가 아니다. 하지만 대부분의 전문가들은 필수적인 고려사항에 대해서는 대체로 의견을 같이 한다. 일반적으로 미국 인쇄산업에서는 보다 지적이면서도 능동적인 디자이너를 선호한다.

소비자는 상품을 구매하는 데 있어 기능이나 성능이 '우수하다', 값이 '싸다', '비싸다'가 아닌 선호의 관점에서 의사결정을 하고 있다. 소비자의 선호와 취향을 전략화한다는 것은 단순히 무엇을 만들 것인가를 떠나 어떤 이미지론 전달하는 상품을 만들 것인가 혹은 어떤 이미지로 소비자의 감성을 파고들것인가 하는 문제를 바탕으로 하게 된다. (중략)

This study investigated the influence of ideals(goal-directed design attributes) and physical common features on typicality of product design and the relationship between typicality and preference that suggested different result in prior research. So for these objectives we explored the relationship between typicality and preference with two dimensions composed of goal-directed attribute typicality and physical common features typicality. The result showed that consumers' judgment of typicality on product design was increased as the product design has ideals. This was a same result as the prior research. In addition, Increasing the physical common feature with other members in product category, consumers judged that the product design is typical. Otherwise, in results of the relationship between typicality and preference were showed that the design of ideals(goal-directed design attributes) influenced on preference positively, but the design of physical common features had an inverted U-shaped.

It is doubtless that product aesthetics and design are very important keys determining the success and failure in today's market environment in spite of the lack of academic model and positive research results. However, surprisingly the research of such an aesthetic has not been active. Therefore the conceptual frame of product aesthetics should be examined centering around the research of product aesthetes in other to understand consumers'aesthetic requirement and desire in the research of aesthetics of product design and the design process by analyzing that how product aesthetics anon the consumers'response and product selection, what roles the aesthetic factor of product design play in product design and what aesthetic dimension of product design is related to design product should be established.
