디자인 프로세스의 단계별 특성을 활용한 공익적인 상품 디자인 개발 연구

Abstract

Of the different design methods, the systemization of a step-by-step order in a design process is one of the essential elements. This study set out to analyze the principle system by the step along with a design process and its importance and developed five public good products. The first analysis round covered literature materials for the definitions and basic patterns of a process and design process theories, examining theories and literature for a preliminary study and including them into a theoretical background. Following the identification of associated words around "public good topics," a prior investigation began. Based on the prior investigation and preliminary study results, the principles of a design process were systemized by the step. Based on the outcomes until Step 4 of the design process, Step 5 applied the identified graphic elements to products and developed five products of public good topics. The findings show that the collection step collected and analyzed materials related to topics to develop a public good product. The word association step identified associated(conceptual) words and extracted their meanings. The sketch step simplified associated words after an investigation and provided sketches in black and white. The visualization step made a transition from black and white to colors with thumbnail sketches used as color drafts. That is, the collection and word association steps featured free ideas. The integration step marked the final development of a product. The findings of the study are expected to offer very important guidelines for the developmental process and completion of a public good product.
