碩士 === 中原大學 === 商業設計研究所 === 95 === In the times of overloaded information,people must absorb a great deal of information every day.The time they read newspapers relatively decreases.In order to let the readers rapidly absorb the information on newspaper in a short time,the major newspapers in Taiwan transmit the information through graphs.Turning the daily newspapers which have the news on the numeral concepts,you’ll find they illustrate by all kinds of graphs including circular graphs,bar graphs and line graphs.That makes readers quickly understand the rate of distribution,growth,and tendency.The transmission of the graphs and the numeral concepts can make the vivid impression on the readers,which has positive meanings in presenting news.Nowadays,the pictographs in the newspapers are increasing year by year.You’ll find the qualities of designing are sometimes good and sometimes bad.Consequently,they’ll influence the readers to receive the wrong information.Therefore,the expressive forms and the process of making pictographs should be more cautious,which is the motivation of my research.In this research I choose The Liberty Times (2001-2005) with a high reading rate as the specimen.I got 482 pieces of pictographs.According to different statistical subjects and forms of the pictographs,I classify them and search the number of pictographs and expressive forms during the five years.The analysis and the conclusion as follows: 1.The issue of Apple Daily in Taiwan on May 2003 made an impact on the graphic rate in Taiwan newspapers.The number of the pictographs continually increases.In 2003,The Liberty Times increases pictographs up to 72 pieces.In 2004,it doubled up to 141 pieces.In 2005,it comes to 220 pieces.You will see pictographs play an important part in the editions of the newpapers. 2.In 2001 to 2005,the number of the pieces of the pictographs in the Liberty Times are numbered in turn: (1) line graphs(2)column graphs(3)bar graphs(4)circular graphs (5)assembly drawings (6)maps.The pieces of the statistic subjects applying pictographs are put in turn : (1) economic statistics(2)geography,population and society(3)the political affairs. 3.Every type of pictographs has different basical elements and the designing principles of contruction rules.Newspaper often use the expressive skills such as increasing images,cubes,ratios,angles to attraction of the attention of readers,but they will produce the illusions of distinguishing them.
