재난 정보디자인의 매체별 시각요소 분석

Abstract

Background The purpose of this study is to analyze visual factors of disaster information design demonstrated by mass media since disaster information is considered to be essential to live a safe life in current society. Methods manuals, websites of computer media, mobile applications are selected as the research subjects. In addition, graphic factors proposed by Jacques Bertin, the essential factors of information visualization and visual factors of typographic were analyzed by classifying into colors, forms, size, location and design based on the analysis standards of information design by moudling principles. In this way, visual factors of disaster information design in domestic･overseas media were compared and analyzed to propose the problems and improvement directions of disaster information design in Korea. Result disaster information design in Korea has excessive amount of information less difference in visual factors indicating hierarchy and classification of the information and irregular and insufficient margin. Furthermore, the usage of colors was excessive and the consideration of the font size and weight was insufficient while text readability was superior. As such, it has been found that disaster information in Korea was created focusing on the information communicator thus the users cannot receive the information properly and the information causes confusion to the users due to information design lacking unity. Conclusion In order to resolve the issues and create effective disaster information design, the design should consider linkage between information design and visual factors while clarifying information hierarchy and classification to maximize visual effects. Also, concrete image and minimum texts should be used to improve space efficiency and information delivery. In this sense, integrative guidelines regarding disaster information should be established to form a disaster information delivery system.
