In the car design process, Interior color scheme is one of the important factors that determined consumer's emotional evaluation with a car styling. The systematic research on the car interior color planning may be not achieved in spite of its importance because it is difficult to simulate color scheme before deciding final prototype. The various alternative of color scheme can be simulated and evaluated in early stage of car design process based on upgraded performance of computer hardware and advance41 co-work system. This study proposed a color coordinate support system for car interior color design to support designer based on emotional scale of color image. Color coordinate support system have four kinds of module, that is, the information acquisition module for gathering user's emotional data, the evaluation module for analyzing relation of color impressions and color attributes, the simulation module for supporting color coordinate design, and the evaluation support module for testing final color alternatives.

The ways in which twentieth-century designers have transformated com mom objects into creative new visions are seemingly infinite yet they conform to certain basic formulas. A remarkable method in those basic formulas can be a transformation. The purpose of this paper is to question what transformation is. After viewing and researching many number of examples of design and how designer dealt with issues of transformation, the result of this paper is as follows. Functional elements such as bases, handles, and openings are inverted in meaning or exaggerated in scale. Designers play upon what we normally expect from metal, glass, and other standard materials; making hard materials seem soft, making soft materials seem hard, transferring techniques appropriate for one material to another. Designer employed an endless variety of plays on functional elements and questioned the nature of materials I concluded that 'transformation in design is the main method of the creative working process for the designer.

Domestic sign industry has seen a rapid growth in recent years, however, the level of quality is not so high. The main reason for this is due to the lack of well educated specialists. Thus, in this investigation, we will develop sign design experience software for the experienced employees in sign industry. Especially, focusing on the indoor letter information, we will develop the software that can provide the graphic effect associated with letter information. First, current situation and preliminary study in sign system used in public information were conducted, then design elements were analyzed from this. Then, experiments were performed on teh analyzed elements, and evaluation methods for the sign design were determined. Experiments including typography, color, layout, line alignment, letter space, and line space were conducted to analyze the visual perception. From these experiments, effective elements can be extracted and used as a elements for sign design software. As a next step, we will propose the development of experience software in sign design that can help to determine the sign elements. Thus, our investigation will provide sign design experience software that can be used by any inexperienced individuals, and be a great help for the more effective sign planning.

Design is a fatal factor to differentiate and survive one product from the other in fierce competition of the market, when other conditions such as price or quality makes no much difference. Among many marketing tools, package design is known as a direct communication that visualizes and forms the very initial brand image of a product. Package design is not only for packing, transporting, storing and loading but for engraving the brand image in a consumers' mind and lead them to purchasing. One of recent package design trands is various ways of using character, not just as a printed image on the surface but as a part of three dimensional structure of package. If it succeed, the package design could give out the secondary fun and impact to the consumers. The package design with an effective character is itself a great marketing tool and valuable design asset, which can bring a further profit to the company. Especially, character-package can be a powerful and effective marketing method for various local products, in needs of further publication and sales with limited cost. It should motivate the sales of the products by grabbing their attention and taken as a souvenir. This research takes a character package as a useful marketing method for a local brand in Jeonju, South Korea, and tries to design a three dimensional package using its own character. Through the process, the research aims to propose an important design strategy for repositioning or enhancing an existing brand.
