Asia has the potential of becoming a center of power in fashion. Japan has worked hard to build images of beauty and serenity. The Chinese people already have enriched their business sense throughout history. China is considered as the next powerhouse of fashion. The Asian "mosaic" including Korea should be very colorful, deep, spiritual and beautiful. It is essential we upgrade and update the training and education of fashion leaders. It is possible to find a niche in a global market through maximizing our strength based upon a great and long history in manufacturing textiles.

A professor of biology, whose name is Dr. Mikamo, National Asahigawa Medical School, recently made an appallingly interesting report to the Hokkaido Meeting, the Zoological Society of Japan at last summer which was to the effect: "Students were asked to draw pictures of a cock and a fly at an examination in biology they took at few medical and dental schools of our national universities. Less than ten percent of the drawings were in a passable likeness of the creatures in question; the rest being nothing more than indefinite and vague, often to the point of primitive. Some cocks were even bestowed with four beautiful legs".egs".uot;.

The purpose of this study was to explore global consumer behavior with fashion products, Korean fashion products, and Korean traditional fashion products (i.e., Han-Bok). Clothing selection criteria for fashion products and Korean fashion products were included as major constructs far the comparison among global consumers based on their nationality. Other consumer behavior variables were shopping place, buying frequency, purchase experience/plan, preferred brand, purchase items, information source, purchasing usage, and the product evaluation of Hanbok. A convenience sample of 236 global consumers was selected for this study. A questionnaire was pilot tested, and the revised questionnaire was used for the interview survey. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA were used for data analysis. Various nationality were existed such as Europe, North America, Japan, China, South East Asia. The results indicated that the most important criteria for fashion buying were design, fit, and size in order. Fit, size, and color item from buying criteria were significantly different among global consumers by nationality. Country of origin was found as less important factor among global consumers. Department store was most favorable shopping place, and once a month is the most mentioned category in buying frequency. Preferred brands were Levi's, Polo, Gucci, and Prada, etc. Secondly, regarding the evaluation of Korean fashion products, textile quality was highly evaluated. Significant difference except design/style category were existed among global consumers by nationality. Thirdly, regarding the evaluation of Hanbok, the product evaluation of Hanbok highly represented as special event clothing, unique image, beautiful details and oriental beauty in order. Significant difference in good quality of textiles, oriental beauty, coordination with good colors and fabrics, beautiful details and unique style and design were existed among global consumers by nationality. Managerial implications were discussed.

As Damyang has preserved both beautiful natural environment and tradition very well, it needs colors which can coexist with Damyang while preserving it as it is rather than colorful and refined colors. However, the present Damyang deteriorates the quality of beautiful natural scenes by chaotic uses of colors. Therefore, colors which can represent symbolism based on the present colors of Damyang should be used so that everyone can be pleased with them. Finally, the basic colors decided were classified into main, supplement and highlight colors in consideration of characteristics of each scene and they were effectively arranged based on the colors decided. If such colors and color schemes are properly applied according to characteristics of scenes, ecological, historical, cultural and traditional scenes of Damyang can be preserved consistently. Academic literature uses the abstract to succinctly communicate complex research. An abstract may act as a stand-alone entity instead of a full paper. As such, an abstract is used by many organizations as the basis for selecting research that is proposed for presentation in the form of a poster, platform/oral presentation or workshop presentation at an academic conference. Most literature database search engines index only abstracts rather than providing the entire text of the paper. Full texts of scientific papers must often be purchased because of copyright and/or publisher fees and therefore the abstract is a significant selling point for the reprint or electronic version of the full-text. Abstracts are protected under copyright law just as any other form of written speech is protected. However, publishers of scientific articles invariably make abstracts publicly available, even when the article itself is protected by a toll barrier. For example, articles in the biomedical literature are available publicly from medline which is accessible through design. It is a common misconception that the abstracts in medline provide sufficient information for medical practitioners, students, scholars and patients. The abstract can convey the main results and conclusions of a scientific article but the full text article must be consulted for details of the methodology.

The female image has been changed incessantly with age and has been eminently represented in cosmetic advertisement. The female images are changed from the classical images to the active and professional images with the historical current of cyber, digital, and fusion. These changes in the expression of female image are largely due to the spread of post-modernism, feminism, de-construction (Kim, 1994), digital information revolution, and increase of income. The female images in cosmetic advertisement have been expressed very variously with fashion, marketing target, and characteristics of articles. (Im, 1997) The cosmetic advertisements of pure and graceful images were popular in the past. But nowadays individual image, womanly image, and unchanged beautiful image are in vogue. Individual image is very popular in young generation with very short fashion period. Active career woman image represents passion and beauty with extension of women' social roles. Unchanged beautiful image in modern industrial pollution stands for the desire of keeping the beauty in youth. Brand is very important factor to consumers in purchasing. Brand is no larger the simple concept in the past, and accepted as reflection of the image, social status, service, and life-style(Lee, 1998) consumers are very favorable to foreign cosmetics with the increase of overseas travels and import. This phenomenon is considered as very natural, especially in young generation. To create a successful brand image, the harmony of quality, psychological preference, advertisement, and reasonable price are required. According to the questionnaire research implemented by the subject of college women students in five universities in Seoul, the majority of college women students purchase domestic cosmetic brands in cosmetic specialty stores and depend on the tips of acquaintances. Quality, skin-trouble, and brand are considered as special regards for purchasing. Especially, internet shopping in purchasing marks high growth rate and preference for foreign cosmetics is very ardent. It can be expected that the 21st century is the epoch of various small production different from the mass-production in the 20th century. Female image will be probably expressed with individual, emotional, and professional image in the media of digital, fusion, cyber, and technology culture. It can be said that the tendency of cosmetic purchasing in the future will be more focused on brand image and life style.

2000 년 이후부터는 HCI 분야에서도 감성적 측면의 연구 중에서 특히 미학(Aesthetics)과 아름다움 (Beauty)에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 기존 HCI 분야가 유용성, 사용성과 같은 인지적 측면의 경험 요소들을 추구하기 위해 집중했다면, 최근에는 심미성이나 즐거움 등과 같은 감성적인 측면의 경험 요소도 함께 중시하는 추세이다. 심지어 실용적인 측면을 강조했던 핸드폰이나 냉장고 등의 전자제품에서도 디자인의 심미성과 같은 감성적인 측면이 더욱 부각되고 있다. 현재까지 HCI 분야에서 심미성에 대한 연구가 다수 진행되어왔다. 그 중에서 Tractinsky (2000)는 지각된 심미성과 지각된 사용성이 양의 상관관계를 가짐을 보여주었다. HCI 분야에서 Tranctinsky 와 더불어 Hassenzahl (2004, 2008) 역시 심미성과 다른 사용자 경험 요소들의 상관관계를 밝히기 위해 여러 시도를 해오고 있다. 그러나 상위 연구들은 주로 심미성과 다른 사용자 경험 요소들과의 상관관계에만 초점을 맞추었고, 모두 실험 상황에서만 연구가 진행되었다는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 즉, 실험 상황에서 도출된 결과는 실제로 사용자가 구매 시점이나 사용 상황에서 심미성을 얼마나 중요하게 고려하는지, 심미성 다른 사용자 경험 요소에 어떤 영향을 미치는지, 그 영향력이 사용 경험에 따라 변화가 없는지 사용 정황이 반영된 시사점을 찾기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 크게 두 가지 목적을 가지고 있다. 첫째, 지각된 심미성이 다른 사용자 경험 요소들에 미치는 영향력을 검증하고, 둘째, 지각된 심미성이 다른 사용자 경험 요소에 미치는 영향력을 사용 경험 기간의 조절효과 관점에서 연구하는 것이다. 우선 본 연구에서는 사용자 경험 요소를 다차원적인 관점에서 접근하여, 여러 사용자 경험 요소들을 실용적 차원과 유희적 차원으로 나누었다. 그리고 사용 경험 기간의 조절효과를 보기 위해, 장기간 사용하는 전자제품을 선정하고 이를 실제로 사용하는 사용자를 대상으로 대규모 온라인 설문을 실시하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 Tractinsky(2000)의 기존 연구를 사용 기간의 조절효과 관점에서 진행한 것에 의의를 가질 뿐만 아니라, 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 제품 개발이나 디자인 종사자들에게 HCI 관점의 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.
