Changing graphic design process in the age of digital transformation: Graphical user interface design of smart watches

The human-computer interaction that emerged with the 3rd Industrial Revolution has been instrumental in taking graphic design to a higher level in its usable areas. Portable information technology, which started with the 4th Industrial Revolution and is developing day by day, has continued to evolve in technologies that change with human life. With this thesis; The change, development, current level and future situation of the paradigms in design methods developed with wearable technology, which is guided by the needs of people, are discussed. With this thesis and the digital design project "Dark", the concept of wearable technology and the historical development of user experience and user interface designs in smart watches, which are among the application areas, are investigated in terms of current application areas and future design thinking. At the same time; The main factors associated with the different or repetitive uses of smartwatches' user interfaces are examined and it aims to propose a theoretical digital design framework by making use of these factors.
