Abstract
In the field of designs of interface and icons, as the skeuomorphism style fades out in use while the flat design tends to be popular, research on which visual form accords to user’s emotional cognition and future direction of design development has been the hot spot. In this paper, general mobile devices are taken as sample, data statistics and comparative evaluation are conducted via questionnaire survey and discriminant analysis. The identification process of users to use skeuomorphism and flat design and their emotional cognition are analyzed. In this experiment, the identification accuracy of the icon, cognition validity, and degree of emotion arousal as well as the emotion validity are compared. The impact factor that reaches the best user experience is summarized. Finally, based on the guidance of acquired conclusion, an available icon is designed.
