Our research focused on food products (dairy products and cereal products on the Slovenian market) that contain so-called hidden sugars, as these can cause many health risks. The aim of the study was to raise awareness of the sugar content in dairy products and cereals through a packaging design with a uniform labelling and coding system. During the process of this research, few answers were provided to the following questions: How can a labelling system be designed to be clear and impartial, what is the hierarchy and layout of food information on packaging, and how can the system be coherently integrated with existing packaging? The impact of the information design on the consumer in the food packaging industry, which helps in further execution, was analysed. Based on the research, variants of a multi-colour labelling system were created, differing in primary information graphics, colour, placement and formats. The packaging for an imaginary brand and the placement of the code system were designed. Finally, the packaging design was implemented in the 3D models for each food group. The result of this research is a collection of packaging models with a labelling system that informs consumers about sugar content, facilitates decision-making and helps them control their food intake. The colour-coded labels were applied to the packaging in a uniform and coherent manner, which can provide sufficient attention and information.","PeriodicalId":16019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of graphic engineering and design","volume":"14 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141279205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their belief in the creative pattern should fit consumers’ expectations. This study scrutinized the relationship between young interior designers and potential consumers about both expectation, designers’ capital, and designers’ strategy to cap-ture the pattern in the design market. To this end, young interior designers (n=100) and potential design consumers (n=100) were recruited as respon-dents. Multiple linear regression and ordinal logisic regression were applied. The data analysis result demonstrated young designers’ marketing patterns to draw potential consumers’ attention. A correlation was found between young designers and design consumers. The expectation, capital, and strategy of designers were found to be interrelated by 48.1%, while those of consumers were interrelated by 28.6%. The research variables, which are designer capital, designer strategy and the two respondent groups, were found to have an impact on the expectation by 94.5%. This study concludes that young designers have a marketing pattern to draw poten-tial consumers’ attention. It showed a relationship between designers’ and consumers’ expectations, designers’ capital or information received by consumers, and designers’ strategy.

If Effective Maintenance Management is applied, productivity of the machines can be increased by reducing breakdown time of the ma-chine. Productivity Management is an organizational framework that helps machines to improve productivity. Productivity of a machine is dependent on the failure probability which can be controlled by technical and management actions. The present investigation is established by the analysis of productivi-ty, effectiveness and failure probability on the basis of Pareto Analysis. Pareto chart is also developed to understand the actual scenario where highest prior-ity events are sequentially arranged. It has been observed that the web-offset printing machine has the highest productivity and effectiveness with less failure probability while the exposure unit has the highest failure probability having low productivity and effectiveness. Based on the reduction of proba-bility of failure to meet the acceptable criteria, further maintenance planning can be suggested. This approach confirms that productivity and effectivity of the machines of newspaper printing press can be increased by considering consequences of the machines and their corresponding failure assessments.","PeriodicalId":16019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of graphic engineering and design","volume":"12 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141279600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In screen printing on porous and absorbent substrates, mesh type and ink composition significantly influence the properties of the printed product. To protect the absorbent printing substrates such as board from moisture penetration and to ensure the optimal interaction of the printed ink layer and the substrate, board substrates can be coated with protective primers before printing. In this research, biodegradable primers made of poly(ɛ‐caprolactone) and poly(lactic acid) were applied on the board substrate which was then screen‐printed using two screen rulings of the mesh and two different types of water‐based printing inks on unprimed and primed board substrates. Printed ink layer thickness, surface roughness, water vapor transmission rate, surface free energy and adhesion parameters were measured/calculated on all produced samples. Microscopy of the printed elements was performed to visualize the influence of the primers on the printed line edge. Results of the research have shown that the primers influence the roughness reduction of the printed ink layer. Furthermore, thickness of the printed ink layers increased when the primers were applied on the substrate, pointing to the decreased permeability of the board, which was confirmed by the reduced water vapor transmission rate of the primed and printed substrates. The surface free energies of the tested surfaces and the adhesion parameters between biodegradable primers and prepared printing inks differed depending on the type of the ink and primer, pointing to the optimal combination of the primer and ink for the favorable acceptance of printing ink on the substrate. Results of this research have enabled the optimization of the quality of screen‐printed board product.","PeriodicalId":16019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of graphic engineering and design","volume":"33 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140086173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two surveys were conducted, with a total of 143 participants (50 in Survey 1, and 93 in Survey 2). The participants completed both printed and digital questionnaires to gather data on their color preferences. The results showed that blue was the most preferred color by both males and females in general, but not for specific items. In survey 2, a chi-square test on categorical variables revealed a significant relationship between gender and preference for light, dark, or bright colors (p=0.025), as well as gender and number of preferred colors per personal item (p=0.02). However, no significant relationships were found between gender and change of colors from childhood (p=0.73), gender and number of preferred colors (p=0.204), gender and most preferred colors (p=0.216), age, and the number of preferred colors (p=0.19). Interestingly, 66.3% of the participants in Survey 2 indicated that their preferred colors were based on innate attraction, regardless of whether their color preferences had changed or remained the same since childhood. Overall, blue and red were the most preferred colors, with a score of 34.4%. These findings provide valuable insights for design practitioners and communicators and offer a basis for future research on color preferences among Ghanaians.","PeriodicalId":16019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of graphic engineering and design","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140272041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was conducted with two online image-based questionnaire evaluations of 7 different lighting settings specifying their illuminance level, CCT, and placement as overhead or peripheral lighting depicted in images from the DIALux simulation. In the first questionnaire, subjects were asked to rate the difference between the two lighting displays being compared and the combination of the seven lighting settings. In the second questionnaire, subjects were also asked to rate their relaxed-tense and alert-fatigued perceptions of the lighting diplayed in the image. The results of these two questionnaires were analyzed by multidimensional scaling and correlation analysis.

In the second stage, the values were modified to see which color was the most attractive to the consumer by distributing questionnaires to 135 respondents. The study demonstrates the importance of packaging visuals, implying the need for attractive graphic design elements. Regarding the image, respondents preferred the photograph over the illustration. Meanwhile, regarding shape, respondents preferred fluid rather than pattern, and regarding typography, they preferred display over text. To conclude, respondents preferred light-colored photography, pattern and display.
