인포그래픽스 디자인의 디자인적 관점과 표현 기법의 다양성에 관한 연구

The 21st century is the era of culture, knowledge and information that creates information more than any of times in the past due to rapid development of the digital technology. Accordingly, the information absorption is accelerating faster than other eras. In this overflowing information, the importance of infographics design is revealed as a measure to deliver information more effectively. The fact that the main agent of communication had transferred from text era to image era means to have an important meaning that it is not just a simple change of the medium, which delivers information from text-centered to image-centered but also, the paradigm had converted from intellect-centered to emotion-centered. This could figure that the basic purpose of communication is not just delivering information, but targeting to feel and share emotional fellowship through messages. Infographics design is continually evolving as re-interpreting information beyond just delivering information while searching for information spaces, and as an elevated concept of visual language which could maximize formative and emotionally visualized images. Now, infographics design requires studies in various angles and aspects to play a role as a medium for communication that could maximize immediate and multi-dimensional sense of communication in digital virtual spaces with infinite expendable power where had settled as a space of visual cultural expression. Therefore, this study has its purpose in classifying and suggesting various design expression methods of infographics design for more effective communication in the information revolution era based on the theoretical backgrounds of infographics design. For such, the study has its means to suggest a theoretical basis to maximize the communication effect, which is the most important role of infographics design, more systematically by classifying the application scopes of infographics design by its type.
