Abstract
The scope of application of the graphic simplification design seemed limitless. It included trademarks, public signs, computer interface, and illustration designs. Some graphics could be easily comprehend and appreciated, while the others were not. The present study inquired about the cause behind such phenomenon. Past investigations had focused on gestalt theory, design discipline, ergonomics, and object recognition theory. The focus of the present study was on understanding the relationship between designers/non-designers' preferences and relevant level of graphic simplification. Analysis results indicated that graphic preference was significantly impacted by the main effect of the combination of simplification methods and was simultaneously influenced by the interactions between the simplification methods and the participants' profile. The result also showed that designers preferences were more varied then non-designers. Designers often process the graphics based on sensuality and intuition whereas the non-designers preferred more realism.
