This study is aimed at suggesting a direction for the development of sensuous and creative art mask design by making art masks rooted in the aesthetic characteristics of psychedelia. The conceptual definition and characteristics of psychedelia were identified on previous studies, specialized books and works of art. The characteristics of psychedelia based on theoretical research were limited to illusionism, abstraction, play, and dynamism, which are often used in researcher's work, and four research works were produced by combining them with art mask design. By trying to diversify works regardless of form or tradition, this study could make the infinite creation of art mask possible and transform that into a new modern beauty. In addition, by expressing internal meaning along with external characteristics in the design of works, it could bring the establishment of a new perception and value of art mask. In the future, it is hoped that this study will be used as basic data for follow-up research related to art mask design and be helpful in the development of art mask design.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has transformed face masks from situational accessories to indispensable items in daily life, prompting a shift in public perception and behavior. While the relaxation of mandatory mask-wearing regulations is underway, a significant number of individuals continue to embrace face masks, turning them into a form of personal expression and identity. This phenomenon has given rise to the Fashion Mask industry, characterized by unique designs and colors, experiencing rapid growth in the market. However, existing research on masks is predominantly focused on their efficacy in preventing infection or exploring attitudes during the pandemic, leaving a gap in understanding consumer preferences for mask design. We address this gap by investigating consumer perceptions and preferences for two prevalent mask designs-horizontal fold flat masks and vertical fold flat masks. Through a comprehensive approach involving surveys and eye-tracking experiments, we aim to unravel the subtle differences in how consumers perceive these designs. Our research questions focus on determining which design is more appealing and exploring the reasons behind any observed differences. The study's findings reveal a clear preference for vertical fold flat masks, which are not only preferred but also perceived as unique, sophisticated, three-dimensional, and lively. The eye-tracking analysis provides insights into the visual attention patterns associated with mask designs, highlighting the pivotal role of the fold line in influencing these patterns. This research contributes to the evolving understanding of masks as a fashion statement and provides valuable insights for manufacturers and marketers in the Fashion Mask industry. The results have implications beyond the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of design elements in sustaining consumer interest in face masks.

This study is a proposal for art mask design through the use of Art Nouveau. Based on precedent studies, its characteristics have been divided into a curvy expression, feminine expression, naturalism expression, and a repetitive expression. The four pieces by Gustav Klimt, a signature artist of Art Nouveau, have been selected. With the motif from them, the art masks were redesigned and the following results have been obtained. First, the study sought out a possibility and the methodologies to apply Art Nouveau to the art mask design. Second, the study has improved the accessibility to materials by increasing the scopes and methods of the art masks. Third, an integration of the art masks with the art history has provided a suitable condition for them. Based on such study results, it is expected that art mask materials could be developed and their status, as a field of makeup, could be raised.

본 연구에서는 마스크 착용이 필수가 된 시대를 살고 있는 20대를 대상으로 하여 마스크에 대해서 어떤 인식을 가지고 있는지를 조사하여 그 인식을 유형화하고 유형별 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 통해 마스크를 착용하는 사람들이 어떤 생각을 가지고 마스크를 사용하는가와 어떤 제품을 원하는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 Q방법론을 사용하였으며, 분석에는 쿼넬 pc프로그램을 활용하였다. 마스크에 대한 인식유형은 3개로 분류되었다. 유형 1은 마스크를 늘 착용하며 마스크가 비언어적 커뮤니케이션과 착용자의 이미지에 영향을 미친다고 생각하는 '상시 착용 영향 중시형'이었다. 유형 2는 마스크를 세균을 막기 위해 착용하며 마스크가 부정적 영향이 크다고 생각하는 '기능 중시 부정 인식형'이었다. 유형 3은 얼굴을 가리기 위해 마스크를 착용하고 마스크 착용 시 사람이 젊어 보인다고 생각하는 '은폐 착용 긍정 이미지형'이었다. 본 연구는 20대만을 대상으로 하여 다른 연령대의 마스크에 대한 인식을 알아보지 못하였다. 향후 연구에서는 다양한 연령대의 마스크에 대한 인식을 알아볼 필요가 있으며, 인식유형에 따른 마스크 디자인 개발에 관한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

This study suggests a new direction for designing art masks that receive attention as an area of creative expression for makeup by incorporating Neo-Pop art. After analyzing the characteristics of Neo-Pop from a theoretical perspective, the researcher produced four art masks based on each characteristic by utilizing the motif of the Japanese Pop artist Takashi Murakami. From this study, the researcher elicits that Neo-Pop has enough qualities to be utilized as a material for the art mask, new designs of the art mask may be suggested by applying the characteristics of Neo-Pop, and that the convergence of art and makeup highlights the possibility of convergence among the many other fields. Thus, it is expected that the art mask will be studied further through converging with a range of fields, and this study will be used as fundamental data for the development of the art mask design.

This study is intended to present the direction of art mask design development and help people's life care by producing an art mask with the motif of the characteristic of abjection concept. It went through the definition and characteristics of abject and abjection focusing on previous research, professional books and art works. The characteristics of abjection based on theoretical research are to express death with dead bodies and skulls, including the dismantling of ideal beauty standards, the expression of fragmented bodies, and the expression of sick and alienated bodies. This researcher produced 6 research works by combining the fascinating abjection, induced by ugly and disgusting abject, to design factors. These works fragmented each part of the facial form by the cutting and dismantling, and made viewers feel the abjection by giving a grotesque deformation. The results obtained through the research works are as follows. First, It was found that the abjection characteristics-applied works was helpful in the treatment of the mental wound of modern people. Second, the production of works based on the abjection characteristics paved the way to expand the scope of art mask design concepts and establish the new design ideas. Third, the application of the motif using the abjection characteristics to the art mask design showed that the use of various objects could express creative designs and secure diversity in using materials. In the future, this researcher hopes that such research will be used as the basic data of the follow-up study on art mask design, and it will help develop art mask designs.

Bicycle riders complain of many inconveniences when wearing glasses, sunglasses and masks. The disposable fine dust mask has been developed to resolve such inconveniences of bicycle riders. The scope of research is limited to the fiber which generates one-time static electricity and the shape of the mask due to the characteristic of fine dust mask. The purpose is to design and make the fine dust mask with a simple production process. The new disposable fine dust mask has secured enough space of the mask in front of the mouth by longitudinal folding and minimized stuffiness by maintaining the shape of the folded part to prevent touching the mouth even by heavy breathing. The streamlined sponge is attached at the part of nose support and the area of the cheek has been expanded to be about 2.5cm wider than ordinary masks to improve tight seal at the side. In addition, a new disposable fine dust scarf mask has been developed to block ultraviolet rays for the face and neck while filtering fine dust with the tight fine dust mask.
