| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 設計研究所 === 100 === Correct and effective knowledge of assessment and first aid can not only help patients have nice and successful treatment after hospitalized, but also reduce the possibility of secondary impairment caused by inappropriate first aid. Even though the medical community has developed an effective prehospital stroke assessment scales, but the public lacks correct understanding on interpretation of stroke symptoms, and there is no useful, understandable propaganda document for stroke assessment, so delayed patients still occur from time to time.
To study the stroke-rapid-response explanation graphic by a series of data collection, interviews, sample design and user testing, this study can be divided into three sections. The first section investigates the overseas market to know the arrangement and presentation of communicative information by producers’ view; the second section takes existing stroke-rapid-response explanation graphics as samples to test the comprehension and cognition of viewers, and clarify how to interactively affect viewers’ comprehension under these varied conditions: presenting textual language only, presenting visual language only, presenting textual and visual language simultaneously and different levels of stylizations; based on the data and results in the last two sections and interviews with related professionals for design principles, the third section redesigns stroke-rapid-response explanation graphic, and takes existing and redesigned explanation graphics as sample to test and interview for the results of users’ comprehension and learning.
The following conclusions can be drawn from the study: 1) In descriptive words, easily understandable slogan and colloquial copy can increase comprehension and memory durability; 2) In image design, taking close-up shot, magnifying symptoms and adjusting brightness/chroma can attract attention and strengthen impression; 3) Shape can guide the visual focus and give the still images the concept of motion, time and abstraction; 4) Users will repeatedly confirm and review between text and images to build up the relationship to verify their understanding and deepen the impression. When designing a document for emergency aid information communication, the study suggests that designers can make good use of the advantages of text and images to establish the connection, and design in a spiral-research routine.
