Abstract

The learning and cognition of preschool children begins with the color of the object, and the game interface is the child's first impression of the game, so reasonable color design is needed. This article selects 10 educational mobile game for preschool children, extracts colors from the game interface and startup icons, and puts them into Photoshop to analyze the three elements of color hue, lightness, and saturation. Finally, three suggestions are put forward for the color design of game UI. 1.Choose a color similar to the actual color of the thing. 2. Choose warm colors according to your child's preferences. 3. When using contrasting colors, please reduce the brightness or purity of the colors. It is hoped that the research conclusions can provide reference materials for the color design of educational game UI for preschool children.

취학 전 아동에게 시각은 중요한 역할을 하며 모든 것은 배우고 인지하는 것은 사물에 색채로부터 시작된다. 게임의 인터페이스(UI)는 아동들의 게임에 대한 첫인상으로 합리적인 색채 디자인이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 취학 전 아동을 위한 모바일 교육용 게임을 선정하여 게임 인터페이스와 작동 아이콘에서 주요 색채를 포토샵(Photoshop)에 적용함으로 UI 색채의 세 가지 요소인 색상, 명도, 채도를 분석하고자 한다. 연구결과로 아동 교육용 게임 UI 색채 디자인에 대해 3가지 개선점을 제시한다. 첫째, 디자인할 때 현실과 비슷한 색채를 선택함이 우월하다. 둘째, 아동들의 취향에 따라 따뜻한 색을 선택함이 우월하다. 셋째, 아동의 시력 보호하기 위해 대비색 적용을 선택할 때 색채의 명도나 순도를 낮춘다. 연구결과가 취학 전 아동(3~6세)을 위해 개발된 교육용 게임 색채 디자인의 참고 자료로 활용되기를 바란다.
