Abstract

The epidemic of COVID19 caused a big change in design collaboration, which has been conducting using face-to-face interaction. Designers actively used video conferencing and online document tools in situations where face-to-face meetings were difficult, and this gave them an opportunity to experience that non-face-to-face collaboration can be more effective in a specific design process. In this regard, this study attempted to find out which activities during the design process are more compelling in face-to-face collaboration or non-face-to-face collaboration. To do this, three user experience design projects conducted after the COVID19 epidemic were analyzed through a retrospective interview method. As a result, during four design stages, 'Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver', face-to-face collaboration is necessary for the areas that require creative problem solving through active interaction. In contrast, non-face-to-face collaboration is preferred and more effective when designers need their own space and proceed their design work. In addition, the aspects of design tools supporting non-face-to-face collaboration were also illustrated. Findings discovered through this study are expected to contribute to research on the design process later.

코로나19의 유행은 면대면 상호작용을 중심으로 진행되어온 디자인 협업에 큰 변화를 일으켰다. 디자이너들은 대면 미팅이 어려운 상황에서 화상 회의 및 온라인 문서 도구 등을 적극 활용하게 되었고, 이는 특정 디자인 과정에서 오히려 비대면 협업이 더 효과적일 수 있다는 경험을 하는 계기가 되었다. 본 연구는 이러한 배경에서 디자인 과정 중 어떤 활동에 비대면 협업이 혹은 대면 협업이 더 효과적인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 코로나19 유행 이후에 진행된 사용자 경험 디자인 프로젝트 3건을 회고적 인터뷰 방법을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 디자인 과정, '발견, 정의, 개발, 전달'의 세부 활동 중 디자이너들의 긴밀한 의사소통을 통해 창의적 문제 해결이 필요한 부분에는 대면 협업이, 디자이너 각각이 자신만의 공간을 확보하며 작업을 진행할 때는 비대면 협업이 선호되며 더 효과적이라는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 비대면 협업을 진행하기 위해서 필요한 디자인 도구의 특성에 대해서도 알아보았다. 본 연구를 통해 발견되고 논의된 내용들은 이후 디자인 과정에 관한 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
