Personalizing Emoji Meaning and Use in Digital Communication

Communication via digital media is characterized by growing use of graphic elements employed to convey emotions and concepts in a succinct form, especially in interpersonal interactions. Emoji are naturally ambiguous in meaning, which undergoes various modifications. One way of incorporating emoji into interpersonal communication is repurposing their meaning and use, so that a shared personal meaning develops between individual users or within small groups. The article explores novel and unique applications of certain emoji in an independent (conceptual) replication study of Wiseman and Gould’s work (2018). The present study analyzes the data obtained via a web-based survey in a group of 132 respondents aged 17 to 55+ to subsequently get to know their motivations behind the repurposed use of emoji. It is demonstrated how this adaptation of graphic icons helps people express their likes and preferences, romantic feelings, amusement, and, as a result, can aid users in building closer relationships in micro-communities. In essence, the article is intended to contribute to a better understanding of emoji use in multimodal interpersonal communication.

Examining Visual Metadiscourse in EFL Students’ Infographics

As multimodal texts become ubiquitous in the digital age, analyzing how writers interact with readers via visuals is becoming increasingly important. Enlightened by Kress and van Leeuwen’s (1996, 2001) semiotic work, D’Angelo (2010) extended Hyland’s (2000) text-based metadiscourse model and proposed a new framework for analyzing the visual metadiscourse of multimodal texts. We used D’Angelo’s (2016) visual metadiscourse framework to evaluate the comprehensibility and organization of the EFL students’ infographics in this study. Two research questions guided our inquiry: (1) How do EFL students use diverse visual metadiscourse resources in their infographic posters? (2) In what ways, if any, does the use of visual interactive resources relate to the assessed quality of the infographics? We collected a total of 122 infographic posters and coded 5 categories of interactive resources for each poster (i.e., information value, framing, connective elements, graphic elements, and fonts), and then carried out frequency counts for each category and subcategories, taking all the posters into account. Moreover, we graded the EFL students’ infographics according to a multi-traits grading rubric, and then conducted multiple regression analyses of their use of visual interactive resources and the scores for their infographics in the aspect of visual effects. The results show that the students used diverse visual interactive resources to guide their audience through the text. The assessed quality of the infographics was found to be significantly correlated with the use of graphic elements and fonts. This study sheds new light on digital multimodal pedagogy, particularly on the role of visual metadiscourse in teaching and assessing multimodal texts in language/writing classrooms.

GRAPHIC DESIGN SOLUTIONS APPLIED ON CHILDREN'S ROOM SURFACES IN INTERIOR DESIGN

Design elements such as typography, illustration, and photography used in graphic design can also be used indoors on surfaces and reinforcement elements. Original designs support the creation of the identity of the place. It is of great importance to use visual arts in the space. One of the areas of design that greatly affects people in the illustration. Whatever the content of the illustration, it can include different visual styles that can be expressed artistically. The art of illustration can express difficult concepts quickly. For this reason, illustrations are used in different techniques. Thus, it can be used to create unique designs that can reveal the difference of the brand. The uniqueness of the illustration used in the interior design is also effective in the formation of space's own identity. Illustrations that are uniquely designed based on the user's wishes should be used. Instead of fashionable design trends, the application of the appropriate forms to the concept of the space ensures the creation of the original space. The research aims to examine the use of graphic elements used in interior design, which is one of the factors that affect the formation of children's identity, on space surfaces. Qualitative methods were used as a method, and a literature review was made on graphic design and space design for children. The analyzed examples are limited to the use of typography and illustration on the walls and reinforcement element surfaces in the interior design of the children's room. The application images in the personal archive were used. Besides, internet resources were searched and the samples of the children's room were examined.

데이터 사이언스를 활용한 정보 시각화에 관한 연구

The science that emerged with big data is data science, and it is the study of data that creates information and knowledge from data. The products using data science are data, code, visualization results, recommendations, digital services, etc., and they interact with each other and continuously develop. Information visualization means to shape data so that meaning is generated as information by using graphic elements to more effectively convey information to users. Because Jacques Bertin can be used as the most efficient means of expression that can easily convert complex semantic structures such as comparisons between numerical (quantitative) data and relationships between sequences and ratios through the use of graphic elements. He said that it can help you to perceive and understand. Through the case study, it was confirmed that the graphic elements for information visualization are not used as a single element but as a composite element, and in particular, transparency and saturation are used as useful elements to express visual texture.This study focused on the characteristics and graphic elements of data visualization based on data science based on examples before and after improvement of information visualization, but in the future information visualization, on the principles of formative representation for metaphorical expression and metaphorical expression Research is needed.

Information, typography and persuasion in Brazilian late 19th and early 20th century ephemera

Abstract This paper aims at a better understanding of the informational structure of late 19th and early 20th century ephemera through an analysis of recurrent informative and persuasive elements in a set of printed artifacts produced in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The research methods adopted involved gathering, describing and comparing verbal and visual information found in those artifacts. Recurrent graphic elements, employed not only for providing information but also for characterizing and differentiating competing companies were found, suggesting that Brazilian printers were making use of graphic elements to promote their services and visually communicate the identity of their businesses.

Users' preferences and perceptions of the comprehensibility and readability of medication labels.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the labeling preferences of medication users and characterize their perceptions of the comprehensibility and readability of medication labels.MethodsWe conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of medication users aged 18 years or older in 10 Brazilian capital cities. Perceptions of the comprehensibility and readability of medication labels in relation to sociodemographic characteristics were evaluated by Poisson regression models with robust variance. Labeling preferences were assessed through questions addressing possible improvements and through the use of digitally simulated packages.ResultsOf 6,255 medication users interviewed, more than half found it difficult or very difficult to read (50.8%) and/or understand (52.0%) medication labels. Difficulties were more pronounced for participants aged 40 years or older, with lower levels of education, and non-whites. Increasing the font size (93.7%), describing the indications for use (95.9%) and contraindications (95.6%) on the label, and highlighting the expiration date (96.3%) were the most widely accepted improvements. In the evaluation of simulated packages, users preferred factors that improved readability, such as increased font size, use of graphic elements and color to highlight the concentration of the active ingredient, and contrast between the font color and background. The new simulated package design, with increased font size, color to highlight the concentration and contrast between the font color and background, was preferred over the standard design by 77.0% of participants.ConclusionBased on users’ perceptions, increased font size and use of graphic elements and color to emphasize critical information, such as expiration date and concentration, are factors that contribute to making medication labels clearer to users. Pharmaceutical industries and policy makers should consider these items when developing labels and defining policies on this issue.

3-D Integration of Robot Vision and Laser Data With Semiautomatic Calibration in Augmented Reality Stereoscopic Visual Interface

This paper proposes an augmented reality visualization interface to simultaneously present visual and laser sensors information further enhanced by stereoscopic viewing and 3-D graphics. The use of graphic elements is proposed to represent laser measurements that are aligned to video information in 3-D space. This methodology enables an operator to intuitively comprehend scene layout and proximity information and so to respond in an accurate and timely manner. The use of graphic elements to assist teleoperation, sometime discussed in the literature, is here proposed following an innovative approach that aligns virtual and real objects in 3-D space and color them suitably to facilitate comprehension of objects proximity during navigation. This paper is developed based on authors' previous experience on stereoscopic teleoperation. The approach is experimented on a real telerobotic system, where a user operates a mobile robot located several kilometers apart. The result showed simplicity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Charting Progress: Francis Amasa Walker's Statistical Atlas of the United States and Narratives of Western Expansion

In the years following the Civil War, federal scientific exploration of the American west intensified rapidly, and so too did the flow of texts that sought to fix the region within the framework of scientific discourse. Among the most authoritative of these texts was Francis Amasa Walker’s innovative Statistical Atlas of the United States . Published in 1874, this oversized compendium of maps, graphs, statistical tables, and essays by scientists, economists, and federal officials was the first comprehensive thematic atlas produced by any nation, and it was hailed both at home and abroad for its innovative use of graphic elements to distill and display complex data. The text drew upon the latest printing technologies and institutional structures to visually and rhetorically stabilize a dynamic social field during a period of rapid change, while also extending the nation’s view across the interior west, which to that point had been only vaguely defined. Drawing upon the culturally privileged language of quantification, objectivity, and empiricism, and stamped with the increasingly prestigious imprimatur of institutional science, Walker’s atlas offered an ostensibly unmediated reflection of the American social and geographic landscape, and it revealed the nation to itself in new and sometimes unexpected ways, especially with regard to the west, a region emblematic of the nation’s future. This article argues that despite the atlas’s aura of distanced objectivity, its presentation of hard facts and “exact knowledge” is framed by a textual and visual image of the United States consonant with expansionist practices and policies, as well as the values and desires of the emergent industrial order. The text’s expansionist orientation is most acutely apparent in its representation of Native Americans and their place, both literally and figuratively, in the nation’s “imperial sweep” across the continent and in its reconfiguration of the west as a resource frontier to be exploited through largescale capital investment rather than independent agrarian settlement in the Jeffersonian mold.
