Asthma requires continuous long-term management with at least 5% outcome of general population as well as being the second cause of death and disability after cancer. The present study developed an efficient self management system based on the commercial mobile phone network. The spirometric test results are input to the mobile phone through the communication line connected to the portable spirometer. The doctor or the care-giver can search, identify, and review the data accumulated daily by the patient, and feedback to the patient necessary recommendations by short message and color mail services. Patient can also send an emergency call to the doctor and/or the care-giver. User interface was designed as convenient as possible for maximum efficiency of these operations. The present system provides a desired remote medical services, thus would enhance health management of chronic diseased patients.

British TV Channel 4 is one of the famous TV Channel in the world. Its station ID has also played a leading role in the developments of Motion Graphics including station IDs. This station ID's main visual design concept is its name and an iconic logo '4' at the same time. The first channel 4 station ID was designed by using modular typography to construct the iconic '4'. Modular typography is a technique of creating letters with similar elements. Channel 4's station ID was constructed from coloured polygons. The polygons split and converge at the same point in 3D space. Modularity in Channel 4's station ID is evidenced by the similar units of polygons. After the first station ID, Channel 4 was re-branded. Eventhough the station IDs which followed did not use coloured and geometrical polygons, modularity is seen in most of the station IDs especially between 2004 - 2011. In these station IDs, the iconic '4' is formed from similar natural and environmental objects like rocks, buildings, lights etc. In this analysis paper, there is a visual narrative on the history of Channel 4, the concept of modular typography in the original station ID and the application of modular typography in other Channel 4's station IDs.

Credit card holders are showing a higher level of psychology to show their identity beyond the means of payment. The purpose of this study is to investigate which design factors affect the 30th and 40th generation housewives when issuing credit cards. A total of 200 people in the 30s and 40s housewives who live in Seoul and the metropolitan area were selected from among the customers who use the credit card, and the effect of the design factors of the domestic credit card on the selection of the credit card, Based on previous studies, questionnaires were prepared and surveyed. As a result of the survey, it was found that the color design of the credit card design element was the achromatic system and the main image was the simple design which only used the color without emphasizing the image or the logo, and then the character type was preferred. I prefer not to have a card decoration, and I have found that a metal-like card material is the most preferred. Through this, I would like to suggest directions for the design development for 30 and 40 housewives in credit card companies.
