In this paper, by analyzing the nonverbal communication of personified animals and human animation characters, the differences of gesture and the amount of similarity between personified animal characters and human characters were studied. Accordingly, personified characters were classified into three categories: humanoid characters, animal-like characters and mixed-type characters which possess characteristics of both human and animals. Furthermore, we proposed a 7-step process for the personification of animal characters. Diverse information of personification was provided for animation designers in this paper. A DB system for animal character designing and automation for animation utilizing personified characters are expected to be constructed.

As regards of designing, I chose a simple wall design of repeating pattern of vertical windows, rather than making the building as a glamourous obzet. This kind of approach was intended to pursue strong image of construction company, interchanging and communicating with its confused surrounding. Therefore, I boldly removed parts that I considered needless from the facade, and used simple and easy words clearly implying the organization. Lobby is the face of the building, but since the space is deep and narrow and the reality of lease should be considered, there was limit to give original image to the lobby. Instead, high ceiling is the biggest feature of this space. Doorae Engineering-Construction Corp. is young and energetic company. I wanted to highlight the young and energetic image of the company by crossing tore oblique piece of boards. This doesn't just has a simple function as ceiling, but also work as a major subject in the space. In addition of this powerful space of oblique lines, indirect lighting is used to emphasize the character of territory, continuity and deepness of the space. Character of territory that divides main and supplementary function and main and supplementary moving line is expressed by flow of dimension, and continuity and deepness of space is emphasized by indirect lighting flowing linearly through the crack between the ceiling and the wall.

In modern society, the place we live and reside decides quality of our lives and pattern of behaviors, and it appears with indeterminative and circulating forms. The place provides different experiences and restrictions to us as intentions of human being and order of nature merges into each other. Formation of such place decides the character depending on its relationship of orders. There would be various methods to prescribe for the ability, that is, characteristics, of space. It is the purpose of this research to classify different components defining the character of the space based on a general notion of place and to find out how it is reflected in the space itself. It is to analyze difference case studies by finding out the relationship between the factors affecting the formation of places and aspects of different expressions within the space. The research would assist in forming different harmonious places reflecting the phases of this modern time as designing interior spaces, and it is also to provide footstone for the formation of space which is not only growing but also future oriented.

Recently, research using image-based deep learning is being conducted to determine similar fonts or recommend fonts. In order to increase the accuracy in judging the similarity of Hangul fonts, a previous study was conducted to calculate the similarity according to the combination of stroke elements. In this study, we tried to solve this problem by designing an integrated model that reflects the weights for each stroke element. By comparing the results of the user's font similarity calculation conducted in the previous study and the weighted model, it was confirmed that there was no difference in the ranking of the influence of the stroke elements. However, as a result of comparison by letter sizes, it was confirmed that there was a difference in the ranking of the influence of stroke elements. Accordingly, we proposed a weighted model set separately for each font size.

Many companies are increasing the use of characters to enhance brand image and brand value. The use of characters in the certain industry is active, however, the research on characters in academia is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate how characteristics of characters affect on consumer's brand attitude and to suggest the guideline companies to concern on brand characters, in especial on designing or licensing them. The results showed that all characteristics of character positively influenced on brand attitude. Among nine characteristics of the character, trust was the most impact and nostalgia was the least impact on brand attitude, respectively. Perceived quality was mediated on in relations between the brand character and brand attitude. In indirect effect, familiarity was the most impact on brand attitude. In sum, we suggested that trust and familiarity of the character are the most weighted characteristics on brand character design strategy.

Nanocatalysts are usually used in the synthesis of petrochemical products, fine chemicals, biofuel production, and automotive exhaust catalysis. Due to high activity and stability, recyclability, and cost-effectiveness, nanocatalysts are a key area in green chemistry. On the other hand, water as a common by-product or undesired element in a range of nanocatalyzed processes may be promoting the deactivation of catalytic systems. The advancement in the field of hydrophobicity in nanocatalysis could relatively solves these problems and improves the efficiency and recyclability of nanocatalysts. Some recent developments in the synthesis of novel nanocatalysts with tunable hydrophilic-hydrophobic character have been reviewed in this article and followed by highlighting their use in catalyzing several processes such as glycerolysis, Fenton, oxidation, reduction, ketalization, and hydrodesulfurization. Zeolites, carbon materials, modified silicas, surfactant-ligands, and polymers are the basic components in the controlling hydrophobicity of new nanocatalysts. Various characterization methods such as N2 adsorption-desorption, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and contact angle measurement are critical in the understanding of hydrophobicity of materials. Also, in this review, it has been shown that how the hydrophobicity of nanocatalyst is affected by its structure, textural properties, and surface acidity, and discuss the important factors in designing catalysts with high efficiency and recyclability. It is useful for chemists and chemical engineers who are concerned with designing novel types of nanocatalysts with high activity and recyclability for environmentally friendly applications.

Animation is a field of popular visual art that is established in human life, and the form of characters appearing is an important factor that is highly anticipated by the public. Designing animation characters according to aesthetic characteristics not only satisfies people's aesthetic needs but can also increase their artistic immersion in animation works. In addition, animation storytelling is delivered around characters and enhances the value of the work by encouraging more public to focus on it. In this paper, we tried to analyze the design elements of Minions characters to derive the reason why they are loved by the public. Among the morphological characteristics of bicepsin characters, a study was conducted on the fact that bicepsin characters visually express 'cute' through the study of infantile eating and color. The visual cuteness elements of a bisung character will soon be linked to the psychological satisfaction of the audience's work and will be a factor in the appreciation of the value of the work. By studying the elements of expression that represent isosin characters, I would like to discuss the factors that help the audience to immerse and get satisfaction with the characters. This will be used as an important factor for an animation character to have for the audience and will reveal its value. Second-class animation images belong to the art of small pieces, suitable for all the audience to enjoy. The two-size animated image has a strong appeal and entertainment, is a confusing visual attribute, can stimulate the audience's five senses. Compared with the actors in the movie, the visual form of the animation is more important.
