The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of transitionof digital signage screen designs. The digital signage displays the information and switcheswith pagetransitions. But, the effect of page transitions has not been evaluated. We confirm which page transitions of the digital signage screen designs were In the experiment by paired comparison test, the screen design patterns were evaluated in term of understandability. And, in the experiment by ocular motility test, we measured how each user looks at the screen. It was confirmed that the design with movein transition insert from the horizon direction is most efficient.

Japan and Korea hope to propose a method to make the best use of Manga characteristics and improve efficiency in the production process. The proposed production method of a name that generates the story construction of the Manga is especially important. This paper proposes a name construction method for the Manga story production. The name production phase is first analyzed at the early stage of the story production process, producing a story, a character, and setting material, etc. Second, the production procedure is clarified, and it proposes the composition method for making a Manga by using the components of the story as well as the name. Third, the scene setting template, page setting support and the production information template are worked out. Finally, the Manga production experiment is conducted with the proposed method and templates. In the result of this study, the utility of the proposal technique is then clarified.

This paper analyses the internal and the external spatial composition of a house. First, 42 external mediation spaces (as dedicated external spaces which exist between the inside of a house and the surrounding environment of the house) of 31 houses were quantified, based on the characteristics of their shape. Second, the external mediation spaces were statistically analyzed and classified according to their quantified drawing information. Three conclusions were drawn from the above analysis : (1) Spatial compositions of the houses with external mediation spaces are defined by the following five factors ; namely, largeness of the external mediation spaces, composition with one space, large number of rooms, inclusiveness, connectivity. (2) There are five types of external mediation spaces ; namely, living room accessory type, connecting private rooms type, included in residence type, extended one room type, vice living room type. (3) It can be argued that the external mediation spaces designed by architects are spaces which can add richness to the interior of the houses, while the external mediation spaces themselves can serve the similar role of internal rooms.
