The Argentinization of the User Centered Design

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 7547))

Abstract

The current study presents an analysis of the degree of circulation of traditional colours of the villages, whether it is in the internet or in the emerging digital communication media. A diachronic study of the colours azure or light blue, white, yellow and red allows to detect how the use of these colours has spread in the most varied environments of multimedia contents of the current technological decade. Further some communicability keys to detect the presence or absence of human and/or social factors in the global diffusion of certain colours and user-centered design in our days are presented.
