In web environment, we accept most of useful information visually. Icon is a channel through which we explore information, and we need icon design to deliver information clearly and quickly to users who accept information visually. Studies on icon have been carried out vigorously according to system environment, styles and characteristics of users. This study is on the metaphor icon, and judging from the characteristics of metaphor icon, it is by the phenomena of user's association of ideas. Divide metaphor and simile and analyzed metaphor icon that is searched in World Wide Web to distinguish similarity in metaphor icon special qualify, And I clarified the present condition of cognition by questionnaires asking people if they recognize the function. I also clarified if elements of icon design influence the level of user's cognition by visually comparing icons. The result of comparative analysis showed that different elements make different level of user's cognition, and to objectify it more, I made up questionnaires about elements of icon design and proved it again. To summarize the result of this study, the similarity between function and elements of design increases the level of recognition of metaphor icon proportionally. To improve user's cognition, I suggest designing with elements which materialize functions.

Graphical user interface design, the visual language to convey information about the icon and the user's information is a medium that can lead to action. Graphical user interface to communicate with the user icon, the user is easy to use, so any time you want to provide information effectively. Communication in order to increase the efficiency of the Graphic User Interface on the nature of the medium must be made to develop the appropriate icon. In this research icon of the type of icon painting. A picture of the icon representation of each type of detail, according to a rating of johyeongjeok identify the elements of the correlation between. On the type of representation of each of Art and Design elements that I know what I saw. The icon design based on user preferences provide guidance on the direction of design-oriented. When the data can be used to designs based on the theory has to offer.

컴퓨터와 인간의 관계는 몇 단계를 거쳐 오늘날 우리가 일상적으로 사용하는 데까지 이르러, 컴퓨터의 사용 계층이 점점 일반화, 다양화되어 전문가들이나 젊은층 뿐만아니라 노인들이나 어린이들도 일상생활에서 많이 사용하는 도구가 되어 업무수행에 있어서 쉽게 인지하고 편리하게 사용하고자 하는 맡은 연구들이 행해져 오고 있다. (중략)

As the importance of interface became emphasized recently, function of icon as an element that helps operation and formative function as an aesthetic element are becoming emphasized. Specially, various research methodologies for measuring the understanding degree of users are being attempted in functional aspect, however, they are facing limitations as user evaluation method of quantitative investigation for statistical analysis became overly dependent on the consent from majority. To overcome such limitation, a methodology of measuring sensibility as aesthetic impression or individuality based on the system of emotion or system of understanding of users and designing icon based on the measurement is being attempted continuously. Therefore, this study suggested an evaluation method using reminding words and conducted an empirical study to apply results on the icon design by applying the evaluation method on icon design of printing products to measure the user sensibility and understanding level. Through this process, this study intended to research summaries on the design evaluation method which based on the evaluation of user sensibility and understanding level and to debate effective design methodologies through the process of applying these summaries on the project. The intention was to progress discussion from practical application perspectives apart from the textbook type discussion by applying a research methodology through concrete cases. This study objectified sensibility and understanding level of users in the icon design aspect, suggested a methodology that can be applied on the design, and it is expected to be used when progressing the icon and GUI design.

An icon which is used in website as a role of a mark is an important device, what is called, to find the contents The users get satisfied with their internet surfing when visualization of icon has exactly the right content. Therefore, visualization of contents - performing more fast and more convenient functions in searching a right content which a user want - becomes much more important. In this study, we researched the expressive ways of con indicating the common contents in the website, we divided into a visible and an invisible content, analysed the cases in symbolic situation and finally suggested the most appropriate method of visualization in each type.
