Abstract
With the emergence of new types of design media, design products are becoming more diverse. However, the user’s habits of designing are difficult to accompany with the design media to convert. This study analyzes the behavior of users to offer an optimized design method for designers using new design media. Therefore, in this paper, furniture catalog is adopted as a study case, for an analysis of used habit of 2D paper-typed catalog. Then, an experiment is setup with a virtual catalog which is designed by 3D interactive software and induced with original used habit. Subjects participate in this experiment and make use of the certain catalog. Finally, two kinds of evaluations, usability evaluation and Heuristic Evaluation, approach to the analysis of new media design. In conclusion, the designer could have a better design method during crossing media-dimension.
