Study on Blend Coding System and Accordance of Animated Symbols and Text Content
Abstract:
A typical application of animation is combined with text content to represent knowledge, as known as MG(Motion Graphic). So MG is a blended coding system of two types of symbols, animation always play the role of “dynamic illustration” to support text comment. However, people have been used to understand and operate dynamic graphics via digital devices, so text is not the only source of meaning. Animation has become independent symbol to produce more efficient recognition. How does the consistency between animation and text settle, and how to evaluate this effects has become an important issue in the production of animation. This study adopts experimental method to let sampled students watch different progressing bar animation clips and answer the questionnaire. The result indicates how different bias between animated shape and dynamic texts affects visual comfort and logical understanding. With comparison, further research suggests how visual elements of animation is encoded to represent logical meaning and types of bad blend coding with other symbols that should be avoided.
