In this paper, we discuss how a visual design process should be supported based on experimental results with using our visual design support system. We developed painting software that calculates the degree of beauty by considering variances in the lightness and size of image components. This software is equipped with three supporting modes: a Regulator mode, a Reporter mode, and an Assessor mode. The Regulator mode allows a user to use only image components that are evaluated as contributing to visual beauty. The Reporter mode visualizes an evaluation result of the beauty of an existing design. The Assessor mode visualizes, in addition to the Reporter mode, an estimated result of beauty if a selected image component is added to the existing image. From the results of an analysis of log data, a questionnaire, and a ranking task, we concluded that the Reporter mode is the most suitable because of its light stress and low restriction. In addition, we found that this mode can foster the users' sensitivity to visual beauty. |
