The present study combined product design and web page color aesthetics, and various affective adjectives were applied to create a design mode that supports designers in developing multimedia web page colors. These approaches help designers understand the importance of colors and imagery in multimedia web pages and visual design. This study adopted the semantic differential to extract user-centered emotional dimensions and obtain crucial design factors for home page appearance. The most preferred visual design was determined through analyses of products affective features as perceived by users. A data assessment was then conducted using the semantic differential to examine the quantitative relationship between web page designs and emotional dimensions. Finally, a Likert-type scale was used to identify the most appropriate web page color. This study contributes to web page design that satisfies user emotions and can also serve as a reference for multimedia web page color research. The findings of Experiment 1 on web page design–related emotional adjectives revealed that "convenient," "technology," "vintage," and "distinctive" were the most appropriate emotional adjectives for the web page visual design experiment. With regard to Experiment 2 on the visual design of multimedia web pages, the most appropriate composition was the one that presented the product in the center of a rectangle with dynamic effects. Experiment 3 on multimedia web page color fit indicated that the most appropriate colors were royal blue, slate blue, and black. Experiment 4 on the two-color fit of multimedia web pages revealed that the most appropriate two-color pairs were royal blue/cyan and royal blue/black. Through investigations of design management mode and emotional factors, this study can provide a platform containing design methods for designers, allowing them to rapidly grasping consumer preferences and to incorporate correlations of product-related terms in styling, colors, and elements in multimedia webpages. Therefore, these researchers can achieve the goal of innovative design and research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
