Comparison of Design Awards in Japan and Abroad

Using Good Design Award and Red Dot Design Award as Examples

Abstract

To investigate the differences in evaluation perspectives between the Good Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award, we conducted text mining analysis targeting works that have won both awards. Comparing the frequently occurring words and their co-occurrence relationships in each, we found that the Good Design Award tends to emphasize consumer-centric evaluations such as usability and appearance, while the Red Dot Design Award tends to prioritize producer-centered evaluations from a more technical perspective.
