Recently, traditional books based on printing on the paper have expanded to e-book media in smart device because of developing digital technology. Especially, app book applied application makes users' experience increase and provides immersion to them, because it allows them basically delivering information, educational effect and fun elements with multimedia technology. There are various experimental trials to make enhance effect of reformatting for application media. The purpose of this study is to analyze reformatting effect for app book with funology which is convergence of digital technology and a fun. Then this article would provide design guide and be applied to new application contents. For this research, the first of all, we would discuss concept and elements of funology by publication including thesis, articles, and books. Secondly, this article will be focused on 'Moo, Baa, La La La!' which is reformatting application for iPad to analyze type of funology. Thirdly, we would make sure that app book makes users get emotional effect comparing original book by FGI(Focus Group Interview). In conclusion, sensitive funology used the sound allows user emotional effect and they prefer to intuitive and immediate motion and response of interactive funology. In other way, funology of fun in itself which is strong concept in original book diminishes in app book. Then users concentrate interactive factors like game structure. This results make that app books could be created by strength of original contents and advantage of funology. Therefore this makes us expect the possibility of reformatting effect with funology and we need to discuss the points of issue that there are considerations and limitations to successful app book for users.

This study conducted empirical analysis through user experience and questionnaire to find out whether the technical and contextual elements of the 'COVID-19 SABER' VR game produced and developed through initial research affect the improvement of the user's visual immersion. As a result first, the hypotheses regarding the resolution, viewing angle, effect, and design quality of the technical elements were accepted, but the hypotheses regarding the frame rate and the brightness of the lighting were rejected. Next, as for the hypothesis of the contextual elements, the hypothesis about background, directing, color and texture, interest and fun was adopted, and the hypothesis about storytelling was rejected. In summary, it was concluded that in order to increase the visual immersion of VR games, technical elements resolution, viewing angle, effect, design quality, contextual elements background, directing, color and texture, interest and fun must be designed and produced. The results of this study are expected to serve as basic data for the production and development of VR games that can induce and improve user's visual immersion in the future.

한국 사회에서 사이버 공간, 특히 온라인 게임 세계가 사용자들에게 단순한 게임이나 가상 공간이 아닌 다양한 활동을 통해 현실과는 다른 방식의 또 다른 인생을 살아가는 새로운 생활공간으로 기능하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 게임 공간에서의 라이프스타일 유형을 확인하고, 리니지 2 와 메이플스 토리라는 두 가지 MMORPG 게임에서 이 유형이 어떻게 나타나는지를 확인하였다. 온라인 게임 '리니지'에서 구분된 온라인 라이프스타일은 '싱글 플레이어', '공동체지향 게이머', '탈사회적 게이머'였다.'리니지 2'를 대상으로 연구 결과, 온라인 게임 공간에서의 공동체 활동은 크게 공동목표, 집단유대감, 집단존중감, 집단영향력의 요인들로 구성되어있는 것으로 확인되었다. 온라인게임 사용자들은 온라인 게임에서 현실감, 조작용이성, 성취감, 친밀감, 소속감, 일탈적 행위를 통한 카타르시스를 통해 재미를 느끼는 것으로 확인되었다. 하지만, 이런 성향은 메이플스토리라는 저 연령층의 게임에서는 비교적 다르게 나타났다. 혈맹 또는 길드의 가입 비율은 비슷한 수준이었지만, 활동방식은 라이프스타일에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 게임세계에서의 라이프스타일은 연령이나 게임 사용기간에서는 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 공동체 활동과 온라인 게임에서 얻는 재미의 하위 요인들에서는 분명한 차이가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 공동체 활동과 재미를 느끼는 측면에서의 차이로 인해 결국 온라인 게임에 몰입하는 정도도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 사이버 공간에서의 사람들의 심리적, 행동적 특성, 특히 온라인 게임에서의 사람들의 공동체 활동과 재미의 요소들을 탐색하였다는 측면에서 의의가 있다. 사람들이 온라인 게임 세계에 몰입하도록 만드는 요인들을 구체적으로 확인할 수 있었다는 측면에서 향후 사이버 공간을 기획하는 사람들에게 구체적인 시사점을 제시할 것이다.

This paper analyzes the actual 'content' and 'role' of the intrinsic motivation of creative laborers during the creative production process. Based on semi-structured intensive interviews with 16 light-entertainment television PDs in South Korea, this paper articulated that intrinsic motivation towards creative work could be understood as a desire to maintain their level of enjoyment from creative work. The desire was classified into two different types of 'enjoyment', one was the enjoyment based on the expectation regarding the creative job, and the 'enjoyment' experienced primarily related to the creative production process that allows creative workers to actualize individual creative ambitions. In addition, such intrinsic motivation tended to provide a strong driving force for creative workers as they endured unfavorable working conditions that resulted from market principles(viewership ratings), economic stability, and work-life balance. This paper proposes that the tendency of creative workers to endure various undesirable working conditions is based on a strong intrinsic motivation to maintain their level of enjoyment from their creative career.

Entertainment Industry is a high value-added business and its market includes the whole world. With high-tech industry, it is said that entertainment industry strengthen country's competitiveness, and the Korean government is trying to find a way to develop the animation industry. Some domestic feature animations were made, but they failed to get sufficient audiences. Meanwhile, Shrek 2, made by PDI, has earned about 92,000,000,000$ through just theatrical revenue. The reason is that domestic animations are not exciting. Contents should have amusement in it. The humor is the most important thing to make fun. So this thesis suggest to analyse Humor Types in animations. It is based on several theories about Humor. The types of humor defined by the previous studies are summarized into (1) humor, (2) wit, (3) satire and (4) irony. I categorize the productive methods of visual humor into (1) visual pun, (2) visual parody and (3) visual paradox adopting Henri Bergson's theory of the production methods of humor. And I comment on humorous scenes of Shrek in points of design basic elements, such as (1) visual elements, (2) relational elements and (3) practical elements. And I classify humor responses into the incongruity theory, the superiority theory, and relief theory. Therefore this study suggest a reasoned method to categorize the humor types effectively for producing or analyzing various types of humor effects in animation fields.
