Com este projeto de pesquisa, que faz parte do Programa de Mestrado em Ciências da Comunicação, na Área de Concentração III - Interfaces Sociais da Comunicação da Linha de Pesquisa Políticas e Estratégias de Comunicação, buscou-se identificar e analisar os conteúdos verbais e imagéticos de campanhas na área de educação em saúde, em especial, sobre o diabetes, presentes em eventos do Dia Mundial do Diabetes ou relacionados a este, nos anos de 2010 e 2011. Essas campanhas foram realizadas por instituições de saúde públicas e privadas da cidade de São Paulo com materiais patrocinados e/ou veiculados por empresas farmacêuticas e de alimentos que utilizaram o design para organizar as mensagens sobre prevenção de enfermidades e/ou adoção de comportamentos saudáveis. A análise dos conteúdos das peças impressas das campanhas teve por base as teorias de comunicação social e linguagem visual. / With this research project, that participates in the Master Program in Communication Sciences, in the III Area of Concentration - Social Interfaces of Communication from the Main Line of Research Policy and Strategies of Communication, we sought to identify and analyze the content of verbal and pictorial campaigns in the health education area, particularly about diabetes, present in the World Diabetes Day events or related to this, occurred in 2010 and 2011. These campaigns were carried out by public and private health institutions of the city of São Paulo with materials sponsored and/or distributed by pharmaceutical and food companies that used the design to organize the messages about disease prevention and/or adoption of healthy behaviors. The analysis of the contents of the printed pieces of the campaigns was based on theories of social communication and visual language.

Este trabalho buscou fazer recortes a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas em dados secundários históricos para elaborar uma linha cronológica da ornamentação, deste a pré-história até a década de 1990. Para atingir o objetivo especifico, foi necessário fazer recortes na história mundial, nas comunicações visuais, nas vestimentas e na ornamentação para que fosse possível elaborar as interfaces de todos os dados obtidos, saber como cada tópico influenciou no emprego de materiais, técnicas e também o uso dos ornamentos por parte de cada individuo. Os ornamentos caracterizam mundialmente os diferentes grupos e culturas e este é um relevante fator de estudo que pode ser muito abrangente em seus mais diversos aspectos. Sendo assim, sabe-se que a vestimenta, mais tarde vista como moda, estabelece uma relação entre pessoa e objeto; os indivíduos consomem a vestimenta pela necessidade da utilização da indumentária, podendo-se atribuir a ela uma diferenciação visual social. Paralelamente à vestimenta, há os ornamentos, detectados na vida do homem desde os primórdios, que atravessaram toda a história da humanidade até a sua chegada aos tempos atuais, na condição de serem requisitos tão necessários tanto quanto a própria vestimenta / The present article aimed to make cuts from library research in historical secondary data in order to elaborate a chronological line in ornamentation, since pre-history to the late 1990s. To achieve the specific purpose, it was necessary to make cuts in world history, in visual communications, clothing and adornment in order to make it possible to elaborate the interfaces of all obtained data, knowing how each topic influenced the use of materials, techniques and also use of ornaments by each individual. The ornaments worldwide characterize the different groups and cultures and this is a significant study factor that can be very broad in its various aspects. Thus, it is known that the garment later seen as fashionable, establishes a relationship between the person and the object; the individuals consume garment by the need for the use of clothing, and it may be attributed to it a social visual differentiation. In parallel to garment, there are the ornaments, detected in human life from the very beginning that have gone through the entire history of humanity until their arrival in the present times, in a condition to be requirements as necessary as the garment itself

Esta tese investiga a relação simbólica entre cor e marca, manifestada na comunicação visual estratégica marcária, e os vínculos de sentido que (co)produz junto aos públicos. Os objetivos são: identificar, analisar e classificar os modos em que as cores significam marcas (os potenciais efeitos da cor sobre os indivíduos-consumidores) e os usos estratégicos da cor, pelas marcas (as funções para as quais as marcas utilizam as cores) e, relacionando os modos e os usos, propor uma tipologia dos discursos cromáticos de marca, inspirada na tipologia semiótica do discurso, de Charles W. Morris (1946). A literatura transdisciplinar acadêmica e de prática de mercado foi combinada com os achados da pesquisa de campo - entrevistas em profundidade (com especialistas em comunicação, gestão e design de marcas), visitas de observação e coleta de artefatos físicos e digitais. Foram delimitados cinco modos da cor significar uma marca (atentivo, designativo, apreciativo, prescritivo e transformativo) e quatro principais usos que as marcas fazem das cores (informativo, avaliativo, incitivo e sistêmico). Ao final, foram distinguidos e exemplificados 13 tipos de discursos cromáticos de marca, conforme o modo e o uso proeminentes, que se revelaram interdependentes e não excludentes / This thesis investigates the symbolic relationship between colors and brands, manifested in strategic visual communication, and the signification it (co)produces with the audience. The research purposes are to identify, analyze and classify the modes in which colors signify brands (the potential effects of color on consumers) and the strategic usages of color by brands (the purposes for which brands use colors) and, relating the modes and the uses, to propose a typology of brand chromatic discourses, inspired in the semiotic typology of discourse, by Charles W. Morris (1946). The transdisciplinary academic and industry literature was combined with the field research findings - from in-depth interviews (with brand communicators, managers, and designers), participant observations, and physical and digital artifacts collection. Five color modes of signifying a brand (attentive, designative, appraisive, prescriptive and transformative) and four primary color usages by brands (informative, valuative, incitive and systemic) are distinguished. Finally, 13 types of brand chromatic discourse, interdependent and non-exclusive, are delineated and exemplified, according to their dominant signification and use.

Gaze to discover is the approach a viewer should take as s/he encounters the work within this exhibition. The main idea is that the work should be interactive. Developing this interaction is the objective of each piece. To engage viewers to interact with a piece of art coincides with the ability to acquire their undivided attention. The realization that it is difficult for a viewer to have a tangible interaction with artwork in a gallery setting leads to asking the viewer to interact visually, "to look fixedly" - to gaze (Webster's Dictionary). Gazing at the work will direct the viewer to discover; "to gain knowledge through observation, study, or search" (Webster's Dictionary). The desired outcome is a personal relationship with each piece observed. Games, play, and visual interaction are what this installation addresses. The familiar vessel forms chosen draw the attention, but the alliteration imagery keeps the viewer intrigued. With the help of a game card, a viewer is left with a puzzle to solve only obtainable through the gaze to discover. / by Tabitha Pennecamp. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

This thesis will explore the vital importance of empathy on the part of graphic designers when creating information graphics. Today’s over-mediated public expects a rich user experience that is emotionally engaging, and multi-sensory by nature. To meet the public’s need, graphic designers must accept the cognitive responsibility to be empathetic to the viewers’ relationship to the information, and not just the surface issues of form, media, and content. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

This practiced-based thesis examines how a new Visual Communication methodology helps interaction designers to improve their future designs. This is achieved by engaging in creating visual interpretations from a lived experience that they need to design for, to reveal the phenomenological essence of what users have actually experienced, rather than what they say they have. This new Visual Phenomenological Methodology (VPM) places interaction designers into a specific communicational situation, in order to understand the phenomena of users’ lived experience ‘through their eyes.’ Thus immersed, interaction designers montage visual interpretations of what users saw/felt/did in the lived experience. The VPM facilitates interaction designers into designer-interpreters, who can interpret sensory data into a behavioural story of what its like to be the user in a lived experience. This thesis has developed the VPM across three peer reviewed, practice-based projects, using a synthesis of the pragmatic semiotics of Peirce, Hermeneutic Phenomenology, and visual communication techniques. Following the Frascaran view that the design discipline of Visual Communication (graphic design and illustration) is a positive facilitator of behavioural change, the VPM employs this hermeneutic-semiosis synthesis to facilitate interaction designers to develop a deeper and emergent understanding of the hidden motivations behind user behaviour. Through a contextual review into Visual Communication, Interaction Design, Phenomenology and Semiosis, this thesis develops the VPM from a theoretical concept, to a set of designer-friendly method cards that interaction designers can employ during their ideation phase. Throughout its development the VPM and its method cards were workshopped and peer reviewed by interaction designers. This thesis, over the following seven chapters, demonstrates how the VPM successfully provided Visual Communication design with a fresh way to re-influence Interaction Design, as a new contribution to knowledge.

O ensino de design, compreendendo os campos do desenho industrial e da comunicação visual, foi implementado na Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo em 1962. A inclusão dessas disciplinas no curso de Arquitetura fazia parte de um novo modelo de ensino que visava a uma formação ampla para o arquiteto. Com o propósito geral de contribuir para a consolidação dos estudos sobre as raízes do ensino paulistano e brasileiro de design, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi o resgatar, registrar e analisar a história do ensino de comunicação visual na FAU USP, apresentando personagens envolvidos, conteúdos programáticos e didáticas empregados nos anos 1960. A partir de uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa contou com um extenso levantamento de dados, obtidos por meio de métodos de história oral e da microhistória, que também delinearam o âmbito de análise das informações reunidas. Como resultado, compreendeu-se que o ensino de comunicação visual da FAU USP, nos anos 1960, recebeu algumas influências internacionais, sobretudo a da escola Bauhaus. Além disso, a influência do perfil dos docentes - alguns artistas-plásticos, outros arquitetos de vertente moderna - sobre esse ensino foi determinante para os caminhos tomados e para o estabelecimento de uma certa dicotomia, que marcou o ensino da Sequência de Comunicação Visual daquela década, entre uma visão baseada na sensibilidade artística e outra na metodologia racionalista do projeto. Concluiu-se que o ensino de comunicação visual na FAU USP, balizado tanto pelas artes plásticas quanto pelo design gráfico moderno, atendeu ao objetivo da reforma do ensino feita em 1962, formando profissionais com atuação abrangente e plural. / Education in design, comprising industrial design and visual communication, was implemented at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo in the year 1962. These disciplines were included in the curriculum of Architecture as part of a novel education model, with the target of qualifying professionals with a broadened vision. In this study, we rescued, recorded and analysed the history of the education in visual communication at FAU USP, as a contribution to the reconstruction of the roots of education in design in São Paulo and in Brazil as a whole. Based upon an extensive data collection and using a qualitative approach, we present historical figures, content of the disciplines, and teaching practices in the 1960s. Methods of oral history and micro-history were adopted to rescue and analyse the information obtained. We verified that the education on visual communication at FAU USP in the 1960s emerged under international influences, particularly from the Bauhaus school. In addition, some Brazilian artists and modern architects, in charge of some disciplines, exerted strong influences on the design education and established a certain dichotomy between a more artistic and a more rationalistic way of teaching in the Visual Communication sequence during that decade. We concluded that the combination of these two approaches - artistic and modern graphic design - provided the education in visual communication at FAU USP to reach the goals of the historical educational reform of 1962: training professionals with a more broad and plural vision of the design.

Nesta investigação, a ênfase recai não apenas sobre a definição deste meio de comunicação, mas também sobre sua processualidade comunicativa, considerando-se que pode ser percebido e identificado junto à Comunicação Visual Urbana. Mesmo à margem dos muitos objetos estudados pelo campo da Comunicação, a camiseta estampada é marcada por um viés publicitário, no que diz respeito ao seu uso ou abordagem, sendo, ainda, atravessada por lógicas comunicacionais. Deste modo, a discussão aqui é empreendida a partir de uma perspectiva que envolve a interação social como ângulo principal, e o objeto empírico – camiseta estampada – enquanto fenômeno investigado. Sua observação é realizada a partir da utilização de métodos que se aproximam da Pesquisa Etnográfica, com ênfase e destaque para a Fotografia, consi / The printed t-shirt expresses and represents the great cultural diversity found on the streets, dressing individuals that walk around in the alive and dynamic scene of the cities, producing different meanings and interactions. In this research, the emphasis is not just on the definition of this medium, but also on its communicative process, considering that it can be perceived and identified at the Urban Visual Communication. Having a small part in the scope of many objects of study in the Area of Communication, the printed t-shirt is marked by an Advertising perspective, related to its use or approach, and also crossed mainly by logical communication. Therefore, this discussion is based on the perspective that involves the social interaction as its main angle, and the empirical object – the printed t-shirt – as the phenomenon investigated. Its observation is based on the use of methods that approaches related to the Ethnographic Research, with emphasis on the Photography, considered as an important Visual Me

Este estudo trata da relação entre a comunicação visual urbana e sua percepção e uso pelos indivíduos em deslocamento pela cidade. A investigação concentrou-se na avaliação dos desempenhos estético e funcional da comunicação visual urbana em relação à influência que cada desempenho tem na apreensão do espaço construído segundo duas condições de mobilidade do transeunte ― a pé e de ônibus, e foi realizada através de um estudo de caso. Para tal, foram propostas três categorias de comunicação visual urbana: Comunicação de Ponto de Venda, Sinalização Urbana Pública e Mídia Exterior, elaborada uma metodologia a partir da Sintaxe Espacial e da Percepção Ambiental e selecionadas duas vias de Porto Alegre. A metodologia propõe o estudo do transeunte em dois aspectos: a identificação espacial do transeunte, utilizando a análise sintática do espaço urbano, e a percepção diferencial do transeunte, através da avaliação da percepção da qualidade visual do ambiente construído. Foram exploradas as hipóteses de que (1) de modo geral, as pessoas não prestam atenção à comunicação visual urbana, (2) existe uma percepção diferencial entre o transeunte em deslocamento a pé e o transeunte em deslocamento em ônibus, e (3) esta diferenciação incide sobre as categorias e os desempenhos da comunicação visual urbana. Os resultados mostram que desempenho estético influencia a percepção dos dois tipos de transeuntes, entretanto o desempenho funcional é especialmente relevante para os transeuntes de ônibus. / The present study deals with the relationship between urban visual communication and its perception and use by individuals in displacement across the city. The research focused on the evaluation of both aesthetic and functional performances of urban visual communication regarding the influence that each performance has in the apprehension of built space in two conditions of mobility of passers-by: on foot and by bus, and was carried out through a study case. For this purpose, three categories of urban visual communication were proposed: Point of Purchase Communication, Urban and Public Signaling and Outdoors Media; a methodology based on Space Syntax and Environmental Perception was developed and two itineraries in Porto Alegre were selected. The methodology proposes the study of the passer-by under two aspects: space identification of the passer-by, using syntactic analysis of urban space; and differential perception of the passer-by, assessing the perception of the visual quality of built environment. Hypotheses have been explored that (1) in general, people do not pay attention to urban visual communication, (2) there is a differential perception between passers-by in displacement on foot and passers-by in displacement by bus, (3) this differentiation focuses on the categories and performances of urban visual communication. Results show that aesthetic performance influences the perception of the two types of passers-by. However, functional performance is especially relevant to the passer-by in displacement by bus.

The goal of my thesis is to evaluate the current status of visual communication and Corporate Identity of LABORATOIRE BIODERMA CZECH REPUBLIC s.r.o. based on the analysis and to find out whether the Corporate Identity is together with visual communication of this company appropriately designed and to expose their weaknesses. The goal is to find out how the public perceives the brand "BIODERMA", what the opinion of the brand and its competitors is, what brand knowledge and awareness is and how the company communicates, especially visually. Based on the results of research, which were realized by method - polling via the online questionnaire, I propose the appropriate recommendations and the solution of discovered deficiencies. My thesis should be also benefit for other companies besides the company BIODERMA. I show a manual how correctly to use visual communication, I explain the meaning of visual communication, what kind of various forms exist today, what the trends are, how it relates to Corporate Identity and what Corporate Identity is. This thesis provides a consistent view on the problems of visual communication of companies and Corporate Identity, because these two terms are closely related.
