| Abstract |
| This paper is to propose a new form of a book that has been developed and changed over the long period of time. It is important as books are no longer passively read by readers but becoming an active digital medium, turning the readers into users.
For the project, a design process of four stages were taken. First, the history of books was reviewed and design elements of books were analyzed. Second, the characteristics of electronic-book were investigated. Third, design concepts and designs of the electronic-book were developed. Lastly, the final design of the electronic-book was proposed.
In an approach to the integrated design solution of the electronic-book, understanding book as a cultural artifact in the context of history and the analysis of various design elements and design issues were needed. Three development phases took place to finalize the concepts into keywords. The four concept keywords were, 1) ergonomic, 2) eco-friendly, 3) user-friendly, and 4) continuant.
The proposed design of the electronic-book embodies changes of the media, the user, and the environment, harmonizes with the systems of the nature, and corresponds with various issues that product-environment design faces, expecting to enhance the value of the design. |
