The mid-20th century witnessed a wide spread of Korean culture in Japan, China and Southeast Asia and China now has become the biggest trade partner and export market, as well as the No. 1 source of import and the biggest investment country of Korea. With the spreading of the Korean popular culture in China, brand loyalty to Korean products is improved. Taking the Chinese market as the basis, this research aims to make an analysis of the implications of 'Korean Wave', Korean advertisements and the image of Korea on brand loyalty to cosmetics made in Korea. To achieve the research aim, questionnaires were used in conducting the survey, mainly in Beijing. Excluding the invalid ones, altogether 180 questionnaires were collected, based on which an empirical analysis was carried out on the correlation between 'Korean Wave', effects of Korean advertisements, image of Korea, brand recognition, and brand loyalty to products made in Korea. The major analyzing tools are SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0. The findings are as follows: 1. Korean films, dramas, and attachment for Korean movie stars (representative of 'Korean Wave') all have a positive influence on brand loyalty. Recognition of the country image of Korea, to some extent, also has positive implications on brand recognition. 2. Empirical analysis assists in the testing of the degree of recognition and attachment of cosmetics made in Korea, as well as brand loyalty to them.

This study did derive a characteristic of a cover design through considering a concept, a function and components of a cover design based on a literature study and through analyzing cases of the best-seller cover designs for the literature section from 1999 to 2002. In terms of a reader's preference for a cover design according to an age and sex of a reader, it tried to suggest a condition and a method of a book-cover design through a questionnaire survey and the image evaluation. In a survey of the preference for a cover design, there was the difference of interest degree in a kind of a book, a place to buy a book and a cover design according to an age and sex. In addition, it was shown that a woman prefers the stylish typography, and both a man and a woman prefer the cool color. However, except these two, the reason why there is no difference in preference for visual elements are that a cover design is an integrative image comprising several elements. Accordingly, through the Semantic Differential Method, it carried out the evaluation as to a cover design as an integrative image. As a result of that, an abstract image was shown to be difficult to convey a meaning because of its fall in clarity. Further, a cover design mainly comprising the stylish typography gained the high evaluation in unique and clarity. It is thought to be attributable to the easiness to achieve a goal of seeing and reading in a cover design in which an image and the typography are balanced, rather than the excessive visual. Even though the visual is excellent, there was difference from what having been excellent in conveying a meaning, which is a functional aspect. This study tried to examine, limiting it only to a visual element. It will be hereafter required to proceed with a study on the influence on a reader's preference according to material, bookbinding and a form of book which are elements comprising a cover design.

This study was conducted from March 15 to March 19, 2019. The purpose of this study was to examine the recognition of uniforms and their images for the selection and development of uniforms and the pursuit of images for dental hygienists and students in some regions. Study methods included frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, ANOVA, chi-squared test, and regression analysis. The collected data was analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 program. This study found that students majoring in dental hygiene thought that uniforms influenced their image and that they influenced the image of the hospital. In addition, students who experienced clinical practice preferred the pants type to the uniform type and the color to achromatic color. In addition, these students preferred scrubs and the use of Crocs for shoes. The results of this study showed that dental hygiene students considered image transmission through uniforms as important. However, it appears that they prefer practical uniforms and shoes over uniforms that convey external images. This is a part that makes us aware of the need for changes in training clothes and training. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop a practical uniform while expressing the image of the institution, which will be reflected in future dental uniform selection.

Firstly, for most high school students, Hanbok has an elegant image, but it was also confirmed that they perceive Hanbok to have a splendid image due to its exposure in mass media and SNS. The image of Hanbok differed by gender and participation in Hanbok classes. A higher percentage of male students than female students perceived Hanbok to have rustic image.
