iOS GUI 디자인의 변화에 대한 어포던스 관점의 고찰

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the transformation of affordance in iOS GUI design and the relationshipof affordances. We figured out variety kinds of Affordance concepts and choosed six Affordances(Visceral, Behavioral,Reflective, Explicit, Metaphorical, Pattern Affordance) Based on the previous studies. The result of investigating thetransformation of iOS GUI design which based on the viewpoint of these 6 Affordance we have chosen is as follows. Firstly, the Visceral Affordance of iOS GUI design has already sufficiently become to the Reflective Affordance. Sowe can ignore or ellipsis the Visceral Affordance and the addition of specific Explicit Affordance can be possible. Secondly, due to the use experience of iOS, Behavioral Affordance and Pattern Affordance have already become to akind of Reflective Affordance. Through this evolution, new kind of Pattern Affordance is formed. At the mean time,it also applied the basic field of Metaphorical Affordance. Thirdly, investigating the Flat Design of iOS based on the viewpoint of Affordance, we have figured out thatVisceral Affordance has been reduced. So that the constrains of visual performance has also been reduced. This isthe reason that there are more space remained in screen layout design, the color has become more natural and moreExplicit Affordance has been provided, ect. Futhermore, in this thesis we have also figured out that there are some interactions and relationships between eachAffordance. With the development of iOS, some Affordances have transformed to other Affordances. With theaccumulation of use experience, Visceral Affordance has transformed to Reflective Affordance based on the field ofMetaphorical Affordance. With the disappearance or reduction of Visceral Affordance, iOS provide Explicit Affordanceinstead. As a result of this kind of process, a new Pattern Affordance has been formed.
