This study is aimed to systematically grasp the visual and informative needs of sign system and secure the formativeness sample for standardization model. This study, therefore, will help building the requirements to create design value and secure objectiveness for realization of practical use of the communication design plan, and means transference of the external and internal information system of railroad vehicles for practical use into the standardization model. The pictorial sign based information delivery is a communication process and way gained through vision and perception, so that grasping the formative structure connoted in message is not less than understanding the characteristics of the essence. In this study, I defined the symbolic expressions inherent in TTX sign system to be perceptional action and value norms as general signatures and signifiers.

The statistical graphics is a design field focusing on the user perception aspects for the correct information delivery and the effective understanding, with the use of the quantitative data through the information analysis, extraction, visualization process. The statistical graphics with the big data composition factor is termed as the statistical big data graphics. In the statistical graphics the visual factors are used to reduce the errors in the perception part and to successfully deliver the information. However, in the statistical big data graphics the visual factors of the enormous data are causing the cognitive discouragements. The purpose of this study is to extract the cognitive discouragement factors from the big data statistical graphics, categorizing the types of the statistical big data graphics as 'network type', 'segment type', and 'mixed type', based on their compositional shapes, and explored the characteristics according to them. Especially, based on the visual main factors in the statistical big data graphics, We extracted the cognitive discouragement factors that appear in the high visualization as the four categories: 'multi-dimensional cases', 'various color', 'information overlap', and 'legibility of the writing'.

We conducted preservation treatment for 25 pieces of coins of Goryeo era in collection of the National Museum of Korea. Object coins are 5 kinds of 'Donggukjungbo', 'Dongguktongbo', 'Haedongtongbo', 'Haedongjungbo', 'Samhanjungbo'. As it is worried that if all chlorides able to make bad influence on reclics are removed, letter and chape of coin can be damaged, they were removed partially. To date, inscribed letter form of Dongguktongbo is known as more than 6 types, and as a result of interpreting X-ray photos, 3 types of inscribed letters were identified by this study. Bronze rust acquired in the process of removing rust on coins, origin of materials for coin was assumed through lead isotope ratio analysis. Latest tendency is that diverse scientific analyses are conducted based on bronze rust.

The purpose of this research is to provide objective information about Korean and Chinese's sensitivity and preference among various Korean fonts, and offer guidelines for using it. Firstly, to analyze Korean fonts in objective way, We compared about image of Korean fonts to Chinese who feel unfamiliar with Korean letter, and proved how different from Korean's opinion. Secondly, one compared preference in particular fonts between Korean and Chinese. Through the factor analysis, the results are as follows. First, Korean and Chinese feel the same about the two groups of factors. There are differences in the rank, but the majority of fonts are included in the same group. It can be concluded that both Korean and Chinese has similar sensitivity about Korean fonts. Second, while Korean and Chinese decides preference on the familiarity, Chinese who are not familiar with Korean letters, have tendency to prefer calligraphic font which they have been using in the Chinese letter.

연구목적: 노인을 위한 건강정보 웹사이트들이 사용성과 접근성을 높이기 위해 지켜야 할 디자인 요소를 어떻게 반영하고 있는지 평가·비교함으로써 개선 방향을 제언하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 국내 및 미국에서 개발된 노인 대상의 건강정보 웹사이트를 각각 9개씩 선정하였다. 근거 기반의 웹디자인 지침서인 Make Your Website Senior Friendly: Checklist와 Research-based Web Design & Usability Guideline을 통합 수정하여 얻은 4개 영역의 평가 항목 48개를 적용해 두 명의 평가자가 선정된 총 18개 웹사이트를 평가하였다. 연구결과: '가독성' 영역 중 서체 선택, 줄 간격, 배경색과 글자색 선택 등은 양호하였으나 국내 웹사이트들 중에는 글자 크기가 조절되지 않는 경우가 빈번하였다. '정보의 표현과 구성' 영역에서 다수의 웹사이트들은 정보 배치 등이 우수하고 소비자 용어를 사용하는 노력을 보였다. 그러나 일부 국내 웹사이트들은 프린트 기능을 제공하지 않거나, 노인들의 저하된 인지 능력을 배려하려는 노력이 부족하였다. '미디어 사용' 영역에서 국내 웹사이트들은 글자 외에 다른 매체를 사용하는 빈도가 미국 웹사이트들에 비해 낮았고, 시청각 매체를 사용할 때는 동일한 내용을 문자로도 볼 수 있도록 하라는 권고안을 준수하지 않았다. '내비게이션과 검색의 용이성'에서는 메뉴나 링크의 명칭이 명확하며, 이용 중에도 쉽게 홈페이지로 돌아갈 수 있도록 구성되었다. 그러나 다수의 국내 사이트들이 사이트맵을 제공하지 않거나, 검색어의 철자오류 등에 대한 배려가 부족하였다. 결론: 국내 웹사이트들은 미국 웹사이트들에 비해 노인들의 사용성과 접근성을 높이는 것으로 밝혀진 연구 근거들을 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있었다. 노인 대상의 인터넷과 웹을 활용한 교육이 지속적으로 증가할 것이므로, 그 효과성을 높이기 위해 간호사들은 정보의 질 뿐만 아니라 디자인 측면의 중요성을 인식하고 실천할 수 있어야겠다.

In the current so-called age of emotion marketing, the independent form of handwriting of calligraphy is being revitalized in various fields such as advertising, book designs, film titles, posters, packages, BI, and even fashion. Thus centered on Gyeyang-gu at the city of Incheon, 100 outdoors signs that used calligraphy were chosen and we researched a reform plan that could revitalize calligraphy in outdoor signs by classifying them according to current conditions of the use of calligraphy, actual conditions of practical use, expression tools, and analyzing the use of colors. The result was trial requests not only from the formalities industry, but also the financial sector, public corporations, and several other businesses, but in order to provide not only for franchise brand logotypes manufactured by expensive experts, but also provide production of high-quality calligraphy for low costs for small private enterprises, the development of a diverse calligraphy education program, centered on the regional society, will be needed. In the midst of globalization, in order to advertise the beauty of Korean alphabet and to create our own unique street culture, a variety of tools and tactile expressions are demanded, in the future the research on the calligraphy of outdoor signs must be revitalized.

Consumer's buying loyalty for goods can be changed by exposure to new stimulus, so different with others and esthetical packaging design is necessary for drawing the eyes of consumer at this time. In this study, we made up a questionnaire and analyzed thirties who is judged as a substantial consumer for recognition of newly launched seasoning packaging design. They answered there is no specific character comparatively in existing seasoning packaging design and gave a high appraisal on symbolism of calligraphy logotype which is produced by attributes but got a low appraisal on readability. And they appraised Cheong-jeong-won Maat-seon-saeng higher than Da-si-da San-deul-e on safety, quality preservation, and exhibitivity and chose safety and preservation among those as essential element inducing to buy.

In this Paper, we propose a keyword spotting system as an alternative to searching system for poor quality Korean document images and compare the Proposed system with an OCR-based document retrieval system. The system is composed of character segmentation, feature extraction for the query keyword, and word-to-word matching. In the character segmentation step, we propose an effective method to remove the connectivity between adjacent characters and a character segmentation method by making the variance of character widths minimum. In the query creation step, feature vector for the query is constructed by a combination of a character model by typeface. In the matching step, word-to-word matching is applied base on a character-to-character matching. We demonstrated that the proposed keyword spotting system is more efficient than the OCR-based one to search a keyword on the Korean document images, especially when the quality of documents is quite poor and point size is small.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the usability and user interface of different display sizes for smart phones. For this purpose, two different display sizes and two different operating systems were used. Estimation values and observation values were calculated using the key-stroke level model (KLM) for 11 functional factors. The processing times were decreased when a large display size was used, but this tendency did not have statistical significance. There was no difference in the processing times when different types of operating systems were used. Nevertheless, some character input tasks showed a little shorter processing times with large display size than with an ordinary display size.
