시각장애인을 위한 화장품 패키지 유니버설 디자인

Abstract

When a blind person purchases a product, he or she has the right to know the information of the product to be purchased as a consumer. However, many blind people in Korea do not know the product information properly and buy products. Therefore, this researcher intends to propose a cosmetic package universal design by directly producing a pressure QR code and a voice service for the visually impaired. This study considered the blind and universal design through literature surveys and case studies, and conducted in-depth interviews with two cosmetics company workers and one blind person to seek design direction. After the first design production, visit the cosmetics offline stores "N" and "T" to demonstrate the cosmetics package for store users, and then propose the final design through the second in-depth interview. According to the research results, first, a cosmetic package design using a pressure QR code was developed and applied to a total of 15 cosmetics with 8 types of products from 'N' company, 6 types of 'T' company, and 1 type of 'U' company. Second, QR code with the growth of voice service with voice that can get information on services. As a result of actual application to offline stores, overall positive responses such as design, usage method, and benefits were obtained. Therefore, we intend to overcome inequality in the underprivileged by providing necessary information to visually impaired consumers who suffered from the limitations of information provision when purchasing cosmetics. In addition, this study further proposes a "design for all" that can be used conveniently and informally not only for the blind but also for non-disabled consumers.
