한국 중학교 미술 교과서 표지 디자인 연구

A textbook that connects a curriculum with its class can greatly influence education. The editing, layout, and external quality, as well as, the content of the cook are undoubtedly important. As opposed to most textbooks, an art book is visually-oriented and this makes its design more unique and important. However, the external designs of art textbooks have not been developed within the sphere of desing. Therefore, designers do not have the proper information or tips on how to improve their layout and design of the books. In this study, the cover design of art books will be discussed, a largely neglected area, and a more elaborate and effective design will be proposed. Preference, responsiveness and aesthetics of the art books’ designs were rated by Gu-II Middle School and Hwi-Kyoung Girls’ High School students. The degree of use was also tested and then rated by the same students. All results will be analyzed precisely. Finally, this study is helpful for students with new perspectives and an interest in art, who do not have the opportunity to choose an art book. This new information will be helpful for creating new cover designs for art books, which could most inspire students’ creativity.
