미니멀리즘 이론에 따른 모바일 앱 사용성 향상 연구

초록

Background: This study explores the improvement of mobile app UI and usability based on minimalism theory. Minimalist design promotes efficient app utilization by providing a simple user experience, ease of use, visual comfort, improved operability and accessibility, and time savings. However, this approach also comes with its own set of challenges that can lead to information loss and user frustration. Methods: In this study, systematically analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of minimalist design by combining qualitative and quantitative research. First, we understand the concept and characteristics of minimalism and analyze its impact on user experience. The qualitative study explores the practical applications and problems of minimalist design through in-depth interviews with UI designers, and the quantitative study collects objective data by conducting user surveys and usability tests. Results: The study cited the advantages of minimalist design as a simple and easy user experience, ease of use, visual comfort, improved operability and accessibility, and time savings. On the other hand, the disadvantages include lack of information due to oversimplification, increased cognitive load, limited colors and icons, confusing navigation, and monotony in layout. Conclusion: Suggest specific actions to minimize information loss and reduce user burden. For example, reorganizing design elements to effectively convey essential information and improving the interface based on user feedback. This research aims to provide designers and developers with specific guidelines and methodologies for improving mobile app UIs using minimalist design to provide a better user experience. This study is expected to enhance the value and importance of minimalist design in modern society and contribute to practical design and development.
