연구배경 본 연구는 수용자의 인지적 특성에 대한 이해를 바탕으로, 효과적인 커뮤니케이션 디자인의 방법을 모색하기 위해, 문자정보와 색채정보가 조화된 상황에서 수용자의 반응을 알아본다. 수용자의 경험과 선호도, 부조화에 대한 문헌연구를 바탕으로 디자인 샘플의 선호도와 감성 평가 과정을 거쳐 문자정보와 색채 정보의 조화가 수용자에게 끼치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다.
연구방법 문헌연구방법과 실험연구방법으로 진행하였다. 먼저 인지와 관련한 이론을 고찰하고 색채와 타이포그래피에 대한 국내와 해외의 선행연구들을 종합하여 연구문제를 도출하였다.
다음으로, 연구 문제를 해결하기 위해 문자정보와 색채정보가 혼합된 샘플을 제작하고, 어린이 그룹과 성인 그룹의 두 실험집단을 구성했다. 실험은 샘플별 선호도 조사와 오스굿의 SD법을 활용한 감성평가 두 가지로 계획하였다.
연구결과 선호도 조사를 통해 성인그룹과 어린이 그룹은 모두 반전된 색보다 익숙한 색채로 제작된 문자 샘플을 선택하였다. 색채 샘플은 자연물 샘플과 기업명으로 상징적으로 부여된 기업색채를 이용한 두 가지 샘플을 사용하였는데 이중 기업명에서는 성인 그룹에서 기업서체로 쓰인 샘플에 대한 선호도가 보다 높게 나타났다.
감성평가 결과는 그래프를 통해 단어에 적용된 색채가 단지 호감도를 결정하는 것을 넘어서 한 단어에 색채를 이용해 부여할 수 있는 다양한 감성적 텍스트의 가능성을 보여주고 있다.
결론 본 연구를 통해, 다양한 서체와 색채를 사용하면서 단어의 지시적 의미 이외의 텍스트를 읽어낼 수 있고 새로운 감성 경험을 할 수 있다는 결과를 수치적인 정보와 그래프로 확인 할 수 있었다.
Background If you notice that you have to fill your car while driving, you have to find a filling station. And you can distinguish by the color before you read the letter on the sign. People can recognize color faster than they can read text. So, today, color is used in the whole industry as color marketing, color therapy, color psychology and so on. And color is actively discussed and studied today. However, there is a lack of research on relationship between color and words.
Because, both color and words have referential meaning, they are often in semantic conflict with each other.
People can distinguish the meaning of the words “man” and “woman,” they can also distinguish the color red and the color blue on the wall in front of a toilet. Therefore, when you are faced with "woman" written in blue, and "man" written in red, you must be confused about it for a moment. Although this makes the experiment about color and text difficult, it is interesting for me. Therefore, I plan to find emotional differences between words written by practiced color and inverted color.
Methods For the study, I establish three research problems as follows.
1) Which is more preferred, a word sample written by practiced color or written by inverted color?
2) Are there differences in preference between adult groups and children group?
3) Are there emotional differences when people watch word samples written by practiced color and written by inverted color?
First, I made ten words samples, Five of which are company names and others were common nouns. The company names were "Samsung", "Hanabank", "Naver", "LG", "e-mart," which have their symbol colors. I also made word samples from the common nouns are "strawberry", "star", "cucumber", "orange", and "sky". Each word sample was printed in both practiced color and inverted color.
Second, I identified two groups of participants, one comprised of people over the age of 19, and the other comprised of children under the age of 8 years.
Third, I investigate the preference between words sample written in two differences colors.
Fourth, I measure the differences in feelings through the Semantic Differential Method. Result The ESCO stakeholders have highly diverse needs which are often interdependent and conflicting. A new PSS thus aimed at addressing the identified needs, and simultaneously achieving economic feasibility and environmental sustainability. Its economic feasibility was validated through a field test.
Result Based on the results of a preference survey for questions 1 and 2, both of the adult group and the kids are prefer words written by practiced color. More than 80% of participants are chose practiced colored words in the case of the common proper nouns' samples. However, the adult group preferred the practiced colored sample and the kids group in preferred the sample of company names.'
Results from the Semantic Differential Method for question 3, I allow me to can make a graph which that reflects sensibility evaluation. Although the sample word is the same, the feeling is different according to the written color.
Conclusion Results-from the Semantic Differential Method for question 3 show us that color can give various meanings to words. We can try more detailed communication by using color and words. The color of words influences preference because color has a referential function. Thus, if we want to gain good filling through text message, we would have to choose the color of words carefully.
