Information and perception
The goal of this course is to help students investigate the relationship between information, interaction, and perception. Furthermore, students will explore processes and ideas for understanding information.In order to study and use the affordances of various mediums and study the appropriateness of representations relative to audiences/contexts, students will explore ways of making information representations accessible, logical, understandable, and enjoyable by inciting and facilitating interaction.
PROJECT 01- Informaiton hierarchy
YIC PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION GUIDE
JEEHYE LEE
Located at Songdo, Inchoen, Yonsei International Campus is now becoming a locus of campus life and academic interaction. Not only Yonsei freshmen moving into YIC every year, many professors, parents and guest are visiting YIC. However, it is not easy for newcomers to figure out the best public transportation route from the fragmented information, mostly in written form. So this project was design to meet the demand for quick and easy transportation guide.

Re-designing G Bus line map
People use public transportation on a daily basis to move from a place to another. Age of the passengers form a very wide range, yet the information display of bus line maps does not fulfill the needs of all users to find the desired information efficiently. This project sought to rearrange the information hierarchy of bus line maps placed at bus stops to make the perception process effortless and more intuitive with a little bit of fun.

Problems
Official Color Chart
All colors are assorted by the number, in other words, in chronological order.
-If the customer knows the exact number and name, it is easy to find the color.
-It is hard to know what its true color is.
Even though some colors look similar, they differ because of many factors.
For example, number 1 and 2 look very similar, but they belong to different groups.
Number 2 and 3 belong to same group, but they have totally different opacity. Number 3 is transparent. To make the color, one has to coat it at least 3 times while number 2 only requires one time.
Offline Store Display
-I always have hard time finding just the right color for myself.
-Bombardment of colors is equally ineffective as those of text.
-Even if some stores offer fake nails with certain colors, it also does not indicate how thick and thin, thus how many coats should be applied
What to do?
First find what factors affect nail color
1. Thick and Thin
2. Similar Colors
3. Affinity of Glitters
-Size
-Variation
-Base Color
-Distinction
(Neon, fluorescent, Sparkle, Powder)
-Find simple way to resort the products of a certain brand. (Aritaum Modi Nail)

PROJECT 02- Simple and usable
Control Redesign - Box Sealing Tape
Junmo Choe
Problem
As the purpose of the box tape is to keep the box sealed, removal of the tape after use is clearly difficult.
A sharp tool is often used to open the sealed box ; during which both the content and user risk injury.
However, major change with the tape will reduce it functionality.
Brainstorimg

Further Requirments
Although the air bubble did make the removal process easier, it still required further deveplopment.
1.The air bubble gives the impression that the tape will not be as sturdy as the exising ones.
2.Random placements of the tape also requires development.
Final Sketch

Developments
Instead of the previous oval shaped space, a rigid straight line shape was used to give a more durable look.
The air squares are evenly distanced from each other
As users often seal boxes in the cross-shape, every 5cm, holed lines exist to make the opening easier.
