내러티브 개념을 적용한 정보 시각화 체계 연구

Abstract

Background The rapidly changing social environment and the development of media make it possible for us to deliver information in various ways and encounter different forms of information content. However, it is not important to provide only the data results to the information user, there is a growing need for information visualization to comprehend the overall context of the information. Accordingly, this study aims to establish an information visualization system through research cases conducted in the information design curriculum to derive information visualization considering the overall context. Methods This study examined the overall theoretical system on information literacy, the concept of narrative, and metaphors in order to approach efficient information visualization in the overall context. Based on the analysis tool prepared to examine the information visualization system applying the concept of narrative, the cases of infographic poster design developed in the researcher's curriculum were analyzed by dividing them into communication and design aspects. Result To derive information visualization applying the concept of narrative, the approach and expression method of information must be applied differently depending on the content of information, the characteristics of media, and the type of message. It was confirmed that the effectiveness of information visualization can be influenced by how the narrative is applied, which metaphoric medium is selected, and how various contents and visual elements are combined with the overall narrative plot. Conclusion Information visualization applying the concept of narrative enabled an approach to information visualization considering the context surrounding the information itself based upon the ability to explore, select, arrange, utilize, and synthesize information.
