화장품의 개발에서 기계적인 측정결과 뿐만 아니라 소비자가 실제 사용할 때 느껴지는 감성적인 요인의 중요성이 높이 인식되어감에 따라, 관능적인 특성평가의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그런 관점에서 트원케익에 대한 사용성 테스트의 한 방법으로 기호형 관능평가를 시도하였고, 본 실험에서는 동일한 소비자(28 명)가 9개의 트윈케익을 일정한 시간에 비슷한 화장 조건하에서 사용하여 비교 평가하도록 하여, 평가의 재현성과 신뢰성을 꾀하였다. 평가는 트윈케익의 세부 관능적 특성에 대한 강도 조사와 선호도 조사 및 전체적인 만족도에 대한 것이었다. 수집된 테이터를 주성분분석에 의해 데이터를 분석하였고, 그 결과 크게 커버력 요인과 입자감 요인이라는 2 가지 요인으로 트원케익의 특성을 평가할 수 있음을 알았다. 일반적인 트윈케익의 분류 방법인 촉촉함과 매트함의 경우, 매트함에 있어서는 트원케익의 공통적 속성으로 제품간 차이를 느끼지 못하였고, 촉촉함에 있어서는 트원케익제품간 차이를 약간 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 트윈케익의 관능적 특성별 강도와 선호도의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 그 결과에 따른 트윈케익의 (+)매력품질과 (-)매력품질을 분석하였는데, 선호도가 높은 제품이 되려면 여러 가지 (+)매력품질을 고루 갖추고,(-)매력품질을 적게 가져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험의 평가자들이 대부분 25∼30 세인 점을 감안하면 이 연령 대에서 선호도가 높은 트윈케익 제품의 특성은 커버력이 있으면서 고운 입자감을 느낄 수 있으며, 너무 촉촉하지도 매트하지도 않은 중간 상태와 자연스러운 화장상태를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다.

In the highly developing industrial society the design has been playing the central role in the managerial strategy of a company and has been one of the central agendas in determining the economical competence of a country, and it is also regarded as a means to acquire sustainable superior competence And these trends suggest that the esthetic value of a product has become more important than the technological function. In this study we review theoretically esthetic factors influencing the preference of a product, so that we can make a list of eight esthetic factors based on the various referential studies. They are simplicity, balance, unity, rhythm, style, novelty, typicality, and proportion. We research esthetic factors affecting consumers' preferences and evaluation of a product and typical esthetic factors specific to the characteristics of each product. Therefore, in this study we tried to provide available materials in developing product design by present of esthetic guideline and to put this materials to practical use in product design by finding considered elements and importance of esthetic factors which had important effects on the tastes of the consumers classified by manufactures.

In marketing, the thematic conceptual study related to hedonic consumption with product symbolism contributed to symbolic consumerism and its hedonic experience. Researching how consumers deal with expectations for unexpected income or windfall gains helps understand what makes them enjoy experiences. This paper discusses the trade-off relationship between hedonic and utilitarian consumption. it aims to determine when and why people choose hedonic (pleasant) or utilitarian (material) products under windfall gains. We suggested five hypotheses, and through a series of experiments, respondents preferred hedonic to utilitarian goods when lottery amounts increased and the probabilities did not discriminate between two products. the preference order was not discriminated in the hedonic, utilitarian goods. the shape of preference revealed an opposite direction (U vs. invert-U)when the winfall amounts increased. and when the discounting rates varied, the consumers' preference order was expected to change. Subjects selected hedonic goods the most, utilitarian goods second, and cash rewards were the last choice. Therefore, stimulating consumers' hedonism and promoting hedonic experiences might be effective marketing tactics and strategies.

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.

Priming Effect, as a part of "Contextual Effect" is the phenomenon that pre-searched product information influences consecutive product evaluation. "Priming Effect" is different from other types of "Contextual Effects" in that pre-searched information doesn't have an direct effect on product evaluation, but an indirect effect which means that pre-searched information influences interpretation of consecutive product evaluation. On the previous theoretical background, this study investigated that how visual images can influence consumer preference and product choice, introducing concept of priming effects into the design of on-line shopping malls. This experiment adopted the digital cameras as the experimental stimulus target products and designed the individual web pages by priming the attributes of price and size. In result of analysis, the difference of product preference by priming attributes was proved to be statistically significant. In this reason, suggesting the background of commercial web page can be the significant factor in choosing products, the priming effects introduced into the design can be positively employed in online advertising.mployed in online advertising.
