摘要

設計良好的圖像是可以很容易並正確地去辨識和暸解它們所要傳遞的訊息。然而，在過去的圖像設計中並沒有一個有系統的方法來分析與評估圖像的辨識與意義要如何設計。最近已有公理設計方法之獨立公理應用在圖像設計之實證研究，本研究即接續此一研究並探討公理設計之資訊公理在圖像設計之應用。研究發現以最適元件之非耦合設計較耦合設計好符合獨立公理;且在非耦合設計中形狀和顏色兩適合度同時增加或減少時，資訊量是可以被用來預估圖像傳遞其意義之正確率，符合資訊公理。此研究結果將可應用於預警系統圖像設計之分析與評估。

Well-designed icons can be easily and correctly distinguished and comprehended. However, no systematic method was found in previous research for analyzing and assessing the distinguishability and meaningfulness of icons. Recently, an empirical research on this issue has been conducted by applying the independence axiom of the axiomatic design. This study extends it by also applying the information axiom to the design of icons. The results showed that when the best combination of components was used to make up the alarm icons, the uncoupled design was better than the coupled design. Moreover, if the suitability of shape and color increase or decrease simultaneously in the uncoupled design, the information content in the information axiom appears to be an accurate estimate for predicting the degree of correctness for interpreting the icons. The findings could be applied to analyze and evaluate the icon design in alarm systems.
