Exploring Creative Expression in Neo-Pop Art through SCAMPER Techniques

Kyung-Sook Jang | JDMCT 4(2) 83-94

Abstract : This paper examines neo-pop art through the SCAMPER technique, a creative thinking method, to analyze how pop art influenced the expression of creativity and exploring the potential applications of this approach. Creativity is defined as the ability to produce something new, original, and valuable by analyzingdiverse perspectives and experimenting with novel ideas. Neo-pop art builds upon the foundations of traditional pop art while merging elements of popular culture and commerce to convey social messages, thus crafting a new visual language suited for the digital age. This study analyzes how the seven elements of the SCAMPER technique are employed in neo-pop art through the works of various artists. These elements were used to reinterpret popular imagery and express social and cultural themes in innovative ways. Neo-pop art has demonstrated how creative thinking and the SCAMPER technique can transcend conventional norms, eventually in original and impactful artistic expressions. The findings of this study highlight the effectiveness of the SCAMPER technique in fostering creative thinking and suggest its broader applicability within contemporary art practices.

Exploring Gamification Strategies for Library Service Design in Chinese Campuses: A Case Study of the Library of Wuhan University of Technology

Yuhao Peng, Seung In Kim | JDMCT 4(2) 107-118

Abstract : The purpose of this study is to explore ways to implement gamification strategies in university library services. As a direction for library service design, gamification strategies can create an interactive experience between the library and its users, providing a sense of spiritual pleasure. By integrating gamification into library services, readers can enjoy a better experience when using library services and engaging with their learning environment. The study first reviews theories on gamification strategies in service design. Then, it conducts a case study to identify gamification strategies used in university library services in Europe, America, and China, as well as the current state of gamification models in these services. Based on the basic conditions of the Wuhan University of Technology Library, the study proposes gamification incentive strategies, gamification team strategies, and gamification sustainability and engagement strategies. Design teams then develop gamification library services that connect game elements to students' real-life learning activities. By applying gamification mechanisms to library services, the study suggests that user engagement, retention, and loyalty in university libraries can be effectively increased, while also promoting social interaction and communication.

An Analysis of the Impact of Visual Design on Way-finding and Signage: The Role of Colors in Enhancing Cognitive Navigation

Yui Man Suen, Seung In Kim | JDMCT 4(2) 131-146

Abstract : This research investigates the influence of color on way-finding systems, particularly within the context of the Seoul Metro. Way-finding is a crucial element of urban navigation, relying on effective visual communication to enable efficient movement through intricate environments. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative analysis of the Seoul Metro's signage system with quantitative survey data collected75 regular metro usersvarious cultural backgrounds. The results emphasize the importance of consistent, high-contrast color-coded signage in improving visibility, minimizing cognitive load, and facilitating intuitive navigation. Examples include yellow exit signs and line-specific color codes, which demonstrate how color contributes to seamless way-finding and lowers user stress levels. These findings provide valuable insights for urban planners and designers seeking to enhance accessibility and user experience in public transportation systems.

Subliminal Priming in Cultural Content: Strategic Applications in Digital Games, Films, and National Soft Power

HyungJun Park, Dongjo Kim | JDMCT 4(2) 147-161

Abstract : Digital games are a widespread form of entertainment and cultural expression that engage millions of people worldwide and significantly influence cultural and social dynamics. In this context, there has been a growing trend of embedding advertisements, ideologies, and messages into cultural media, including games, movies, comics, and anime. This paper examines the subliminal effects of such practices and explores their connection to the 1942 series of shooter games that were released in the 1980s. It investigates how visual elements and repetitive stimuli in these games influence players’ subconscious perceptions and explores the application of similar techniques in other cultural media. The study highlights cases in the United States, Japan, and China where subliminal priming has been used to reinforce national images and brands while demonstrating how these methods contribute to enhancing soft power through cultural content. The findings highlight the potential long-term impact of subliminal priming on individuals’ perceptions and behaviors. They also emphasize the need for future research to distinguish between its ethical and malicious applications. By proposing a theoretical framework for its positive use, this paper aims to support the development of cultural content that fosters ethical and constructive influence globally.

Abstract : This study aims to develop a VR technology-based LED control interface. The ive of the study is to provide an intuitive user experience and improve efficiency in smart home lighting environments. For this, it designed an algorithm and interface to control LED lighting installations utilizing VR technology. VR technology was utilized to allow users to intuitively control LEDs in a virtual reality space, and a spatial coordinate-based input method was used to enable more precise control. It also implemented pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to control LED color temperature and brightness. This enables real-time control and synchronization of LED installations, and the system is designed to allow multiple users to share and visualize control data on a network basis. By establishing a multi-participatory LED control environment, this study presented various application possibilities such as media art, education, and experiential content. It also added vibration feedback to user input to enhance immersion, and optimized the algorithm to prevent data loss and ensure real-time operation. This study expects to make an innovative contribution to the development of smart home lighting systems and extended reality content.
