JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study examined experimentally the factors determining harmonious relationship between shape and color. In Experiment 1, affective meanings of shape and color were measured using Semantic Differential technique and 12 shapes and 12 colors were selected for making colored-shapes to be used in Experiment 2. In Experiment 2, affective meanings and the degree of harmony between shape and color were measured for 36 colored-shapes. Two statistical estimations were carried out to reveal the factor determining the harmony between shape and color. The results suggested that the degree of harmony between shape and color increased when affective meanings on lightness and activity were similar to each other. These findings support Kandinsky's hypothesis.View full abstractDownload PDF (1084K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe propose a Japanese font creating system reflecting user's Kansei with various design functions. In the system, a user inputs impressions of a font to create. The system operates based on the genetic algorithm. In the system, various design functions are added to solve many problems of our conventional one. First, the number of attributes of font basic information is greatly increased. This allows the expression of the design of the Hane and Harai elements, and the superiority or inferiority expression in the part of strokes coming in succession. Second, the number of font parameters is greatly increased to 32. This allows the expression of the design with the feature of the five different typographies, the thickness change in a single stroke, and the distortion of a boundary box. Through the experiment, we have confirmed the effectiveness of the system.View full abstractDownload PDF (1284K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSComputer Aided Design (CAD) applications have become designers' inevitable tools for expressing and simulating innovative ideas and concepts. However, replacing traditional materials and mock-ups with 3D CAD systems, designers are faced with the intangibility problem. As a touchable and graspable interface based on 3D CAD data, we proposed Augmented Foam, which combined Augmented Reality technologies and physical blue foam with little additional effort. Using Augmented Foam, blue foam mock-up is overlaid by a 3D virtual object, which is rendered with same CAD model used for mockup production. In order to solve the visibility problem between the reviewer's hand and the virtual object, we implemented a hand detection and separation. Augmented Foam was tested for a cleaning robot design. Twenty participants were asked to evaluate the perceived visual reality of product appearances for 6 design simulation techniques including Augmented Foam. We found that the participants perceive the shape, size, and color of product appearance more accurately than renderings on CRT, traditional Augmented Reality, and a foam mock-up.View full abstractDownload PDF (2082K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSInstallation is developing many expressions from Fine-Art and expanding from Museum to Cities. but Installation had no Systematic study. This study was conducted to understand the current status, to establish the concept of Environmental Direction from the characteristics and typological analysis of Installation. 13 items and 79 index of the apprication underwent typological analysis using a multivariate analytical method, in order to identify characteristics and structures of each of the exhibition by the past 25 years. The typological analysis, using a cluster analysis of the three axis obtained via a Quantification method III, identified 5 types, and extracted 4 types with distinctive characteristics of which 1 type displaced characteristics showing realities of Environmental Direction. The concept of Environmental Direction was established by the results.View full abstractDownload PDF (1691K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBridge, as a role of connection part of the road, is thought making strong influence on the scene composition of the whole area. However, currently, there are still quit a few bridges which are thought disproportionate to the regional landscape from the viewpoint of the driver, who is on the user side of the road, since there are no internal landscape considerations taken into, when doing landscape maintenance of a bridge. In this study, we aim at elucidating the impression difference of the bridge caused by the viewpoint position changes as driver overlooks a bridge. An archipelago region is selected for the case study. The effect of each component to the bridge landscape is clarified, and a landscape evaluation standard for doing the landscape maintenance of the road adjoins with bridge is tried to be construct.View full abstractDownload PDF (2377K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis research tries to construct a standard, which is concerned with consideration of the landscape when the road is planned and designed. The landscape evaluation standard discussed in this research is designed to make a more comfortable running space for the driver from the viewpoint of a road internal landscape. The research process is; first, the landscape elements that influence road internal landscape, which have been roughly classified based on an existing document, are classified in more details. And then these elements are discussed one by one, in order to effectively introduce these landscape elements into the design. Then combined with the human perception evaluation elements which affect landscape evaluation while the actual running is added in, an overall evaluation standard is decided.View full abstractDownload PDF (2669K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAds created using rubber bands as motif were examined in terms of the expression of visual tropes and of comprehensibility or interestingness. The difference of design experience for the evaluation of ads was also studied; design major students and other major students participated in the experiment. As a result, all ads contained visual trope like visual simile. If properties of the rubber band had little relation to those of advertised objects, the ads were evaluated lower. In general, design major students found out the relationship between the rubber band and the advertised object than other major students. These findings suggested the importance of formation of common base between designers and adressees to make clear which significance is critical. Consideration of visual trope from pragmatics will be effective for visual design.View full abstractDownload PDF (1405K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAds created by Taiwanese design major students were presented to Japanese students who did not know Chinese. The motif of ads was rubber bands and the visual trope technique was adopted. Participants judged and reported 1) advertised object, 2) its grounds, 3) advertising message, and 4) its grounds. Participants could not guess the advertised object, when it was association or event. Depicted things, products and logo were grounds for guess. Ads denying the actual state and appealing new products or service were incomprehensive. Grounds for guess of message were mainly visual information, but language, especially big letters, was also used, Some participants found the rubber band in ad, but they did not understand why there was. The ad's designers should consider the common base with the addresses and mode of visual expression of information.View full abstractDownload PDF (930K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe activity for beautifying a regional street in South Korea has just started. Taking the 'cultural pavements' specified by the Cultural Tourism Department, which are nationwide in South Korea, as the case objects, the analysis and investigation on the pedestrians' consideration to footscape design has been executed. As a result, the finding was obtained. As matters now stand, pedestrians do not feel concern about FSD so much, and FSD does not leave the pedestrians a deep impression as well. So it is preferable that local identity can be exhibited through FSD of 'cultural pavement', and it is also desirable that the FSD could become received much better by improving the graphic pattern using block pavement material, and it is advisable to use the materials which is nature-friendly and environment-friendly. Besides, in order to build FSD with a more favorable impression, it has been confirmed that clay block is more effective.View full abstractDownload PDF (1526K)
