This study was aimed at examining the characteristics of women’s blue denim on the basis of design elements to provide fundamental data for fashion majors and fashion designers. Seven design elements were selected from previous studies to compare them with the following characteristics of blue denim: color (washing, dyeing), ornamentation (trimming, detailing, painting, and printing), and form modification, tearing, and ripping). Data from 1,520 photographs of the 2019 S/S to the 2023–24 F/W collections were collected through overlapping checks. The data were then subjected to frequency analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 26). The results are as follows: The most frequent design method used in producing the denim items in our sample was washing, followed by modification, tearing, and ripping and detailing. The greatest change in denim design occurred in 2023, and more design element changes were observed in the F/W season than in the S/S season. Washing was used four times or more frequently than dyeing, while detailing was employed approximately 2 times more often than trimming. With respect to form, the most common approach was modification, followed by tearing and ripping.

The purpose for this paper is to categorize and analyze the aesthetic characteristics of graphic factors in contemporary fashion design by media source. Focused on play-instinct visual expression in contemporary fashion design and adopted media source following the way of communication design. A variety of literatures and online sites for graphic factors in contemporary fashion was studied. The standard of media source is classified as graphic media-source: photography media-source, typography media-source, illustration media-source. With this standard, expressed ways are as followings. First, graphic media-source in play-instinct expressional fashion design is mostly borrowing existed character or using designer’s brand logo. Second, photography media-source in play-instinct expressional fashion design is placed photograph of social issued people in front of shirt. Third, typography media-source in play-instinct expressional contemporary fashion design is mostly expressed social messages or designer’s name in brand. Fourth, illustration media-source is the best way to express play-instinct visual expression. Based on these, aesthetic characteristics of graphic factor in contemporary fashion by media source are classified as three: social words, playfulness and information transference. Frequency ratio using media source per aesthetic characteristics is different and these are able to categorize expression way and image feature. In conclusion, expressional way of graphic factors in contemporary fashion design became diverse as social and cultural changing. Frequency of graphic factor use in contemporary fashion is increased than before. This paper suggested that fashion design is one of the way of communicating with people and should be analyzed graphic factors in contemporary fashion design.

NCS 직업교육의 평가 방법이나 기준은 일률적이고 주입식이며 직무 중심 교육(지식.기술.소양)으로 인한 패션디자인 창작 활동에 장애가 되는 교육 프로그램으로, 학습자가 자기 주도적으로 학습을 해 나갈 수 있는 학습경험 플로우의 복합적 상호작용이 필요하다. 이를 검증하기 위한 기초 연구로 학습 상호작용의 요소를 제안하고, 2차 제안된 Personal, Operator, Social Interaction 상호 작용 요소를 통해 자기 주도적 학습 충성도에 대한 효과를 검증하고자 한다. 요소제안을 위해서 수요 조사와 관련 업종 산업체를 대상으로 하여 설문조사를 실시하고, 자문 위원과 NCS 교육 전문가에게 의견을 수렴하여 요소를 최종 결정하였다. 1차 본 연구에서 제안된 상호작용은 첫 번째 Personal Interaction으로 교육 참가자가 정확한 학습 목표를 위해서 교육과정내용을 학습자에게 제시하여 학습 수행 계획에 따른 목표 성취 의지 및 학습 목표방향 설정에 부합할 수 있도록 하는 요소이다. 두 번째 Operator Interaction 요소로는 학습 목표를 해결하기 위해 교육생에게 주어지는 조력자 도구 요소이다. Social Interaction 요소는 실기위주의 수업이 많은 관계로 모든 교육생이 다 따라갈 수 없는 상황의 가상공간에서 의사소통을 수행 과정에서 제공하여 주도적 학습 경험이 될 수 있도록 하는 요소이다. 위 세가지 상호작용은 학습경험 Flow로 학업성취수준을 높여주는 것뿐만 아니라, 학습과정에 대한 만족감과 성취감, 나아가 자긍심과 미래에 대한 취업 성공을 높여준다고 사료된다. 향후 본 연구에서 NCS학습경험 Flow의 인지적 상호작용이 자기 주도적 학습 충성도를 높이기 위해서는 교육 참가자에게 Personal, Operator, Social Interaction에 관련된 요소를 잘 제공해 주는 것이 중요 함을 향후 검증하고자 한다.
