abstract
Background Information on the historical and cultural resources is utilized for the interaction of various contents. On the other hand, the essential symbolism of historical and cultural resources is lost in the process of information transfer, which leads to an interpretation with a different meaning. The purpose of this study is to identify a design method that is convenient for visual acceptance for modern people with keeping of essential symbolism. Methods Based on previous research, this research studied cases of infographics on the grounds of the key elements of‘information visualization wheel model’of Alberto Cairo and theory of storytelling and narrative structure in information visualization and infographics. An infographic work for historical and cultural resources including events and times was selected as a research subject and the study was conducted with the reorganization of the analytical framework for the criteria. Result The structure of the information to be transmitted should be established, including interrelationships between the information visualization and the infographics for historical and cultural resources before the analysis. Most of the infographics for historical and cultural resources were image-type storytelling, which made it easy to express the narrative structure. And the characteristics of the narrative were supplemented by the timeline and location/geography infographics. However, the historical background such as the design intent or the message was not addressed based on the basic knowledge of the information recipient. Conclusion This research is meaningful in that it studied the expression analysis of the historical and cultural resources through the information visualization, and then identified the characteristics of narrative elements that are found in infographics, and then studied the systematic visualization methods for the infographic design. In other words, infographics for future historical and cultural resources should further promote dynamism, attention, and interest to convey meaning by using motion graphics more actively. In order to express narrative characteristics through infographics, a more efficient information delivery method is required. Expressions and values containing values for the future should be further improved. In addition, research on the use of figures, colors, photos, illustrations, and typography to comprehensively and effectively express such information is required rather than focusing on infographics only on partial events and specific people. It is proposed to stimulate imagination and interest through symbolism and representation rather than obsessing over reality. Based on this, it is meaningful that this study investigated a more systematic visualization method for infographic design.
