Graphic Design Software and Aesthetic Features of Digital Caricature

Aesthetic is a pragmatic term that got scholars intention from a long time. This study emphasis on proposing a conceptual framework for aesthetic features of caricature art in order to examine how the use of digital tools affect those features. The proposed framework classify the features into three dimensions; micro-objective, macro-subjective, and interaction-psychology. Techniques of caricature such as reversing and assimilation are unique to this art and form the macro dimensions. Information dimension includes the overall message of caricature drawing and the emotional perception of the audience. Micro dimension includes the traditional color, texture, compositions, and salience features. In future, the proposed conceptual framework will be validated by experts then designing a tool for quantifying the features measure.
