모바일 폰의 아이콘 디자인에 관한 연구 = Analysis of Icon Designs for Mobile Phones

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

With the development of digital technique, hardware equipment of mobile phones has emerged in an endless stream during the last few years. However, GUI design for mobile phones develops comparatively slowly. Thus, this thesis does relevant research on icon design for mobile phones and may help those who are working on this field.
This thesis, which first begins with the study of icon theories and characteristics, researches and classifies the icon for mobile phones on the aspects of visual mode and semiology. Icon design for mobile phones is an important part of GUI design. Therefore, the thesis focuses on GUI icon design forming elements aiming at the characteristics of mobile phones and summarizes three basic forming elements of icon design for mobile phones:
1. Exterior Elements: a. limited small menu display. b. restricted hardware key elements. c. consideration to low-capacity EMS memory.
2. Function Elements: a. unification of overall design. b. use of mobile phones. c. visibility on ergonomics. d. users’ understanding level.
3. Visual Modeling Elements: a. shape. b. color. c. size. d. animation. e. text. f. layout.
According to the theories above, this thesis does sampling investigation and research on 11 newly representative productions that have been largely used made by the world’s top 5 mobile phone producing companies. Moreover, the thesis analyses and researches from many aspects such as "image elements" and "design elements". The result of this research shows: most modeling of icon design for mobile phones uses "symbol technique+ character assistance" background color tends to follow the color with low saturation like black; the main color of icon is the color that is easy to distinguish visually and with high saturation according to different backgrounds.
By the research and analysis above, this thesis puts forward personal design logos and design proposals starting from the convenience and feasibility brought to users all over the world. Finally, it is hoped that this research could act a referenced part in the development of icon design for mobile.

近来随着数字技术的迅速发展，移动电话硬件设备的推出也是层出不穷。而移动电话“图像用户界面”设计的发展却相对滞后，本文就此对 移动电话的icon设计进行了一翻研究，希望此文对研究移动电话icon 设计的人们有所帮助。
本论文首先从icon 理论和特征的研究入手，对移动电话的icon 从视觉表现方式和记号学两方面进行了研究和分类。移动电话icon 设计是移动电话“图像用户界面” （Graphic User Interface 缩写为GUI）设计的重要部分，因此，针对移动电话的特征对“图像用户界面”（GUI）的icon设计构成要素进行深入研究，总结出移动电话icon设计 的三个基本构成要素：
(1) 外在要素： a. 限定内的小幅画面版式设计（Display），b. 受限制的硬件关键因素，c. 对小容量的内存考虑； （2） 机能要素：a. 整体设计的统一性， b. 移动电话的使用性， c. 人体工学上的可视性， d. 用户的理解度； （3） 视觉造型要素：a. 形态（shape） b. 色彩（color） c. 尺寸（size） d. 动画效果（animation） e. 字体（text） f. 画面构成（layout）。
根据以上理论，本文对世界前5位的移动电话制造公司的11个用户使用量较大的代表性新近产品进行了取样调查研究，并从“图像要素”和“设计要素”等多方面进行了分析研究。研究结果表明：大部分移动电话的icon设计在造型上都使用了“象征手法+文字辅助”的方法； 背景色彩则趋向于黑色等彩度（Saturation）较弱的色彩；icon的主要色彩则根据背景的不同选择 视觉上容易区分且彩度较高的色彩。
通过以上研究和分析，本文从世界范围内用户实际使用的便利性和可行性出发，提出了个人的设计理念和设计方案。最后，希望本研究能对移动电话的ICON设计的实际开发起到一个借鉴和参考作用。
