The Internet media has a great effect on delivering the image of companies acquiring as well as information that people need in present society. The rapid growth of Internet users and the wide and active Internet uses brought the diversities of the Internet web site types. One of them is Webzine.

The design in creating Webzine is the most important and remarkable factor. The design is a powerful factor that can judge Webzine with only design.
In this dissertation, the subject of study on Webzines for domestic telecommunication companies such as KTF st. The Main, KTF GOODTIMEZINE, SKT U-world, is focusing on design element (navigation, layout, color, typography and graphic, etc.) and leads results with comparison and analysis of a Webzine with those design elements. The results to consider are as following.
First, the main goal of navigation is to offer a navigation system to support organized and easy movement between information to users. Information access should be easy by offering a suitable navigation system.
Users can quickly find their information and contents by offering sitemap. Second, layout should have modeling and rules of design between contents.
The effective grid system is applied to layout. In other words, component principle such as unity, flow, emphasis, balance and rate is necessary to consider. In this part, the suitable graphic and color plan must be supported.
Third, the color is such an important tool to deliver information and the human beings recognize it first, so the color plan to consider contents of Webzine and users is so important. The color needs to follow a common sense and usage of complementary colors should pay attention to eye fatigue. The effective color has a great effect and excellently shows entire tone and image in Webzine. So it can effectively deliver specific messages in Webzine.

Fifth, the graphic factor is the strongest message in visual persuasion and it is an important factor to deliver a company image. The graphic can attract users' interests and easily make them access. However, the loading time should be minimized by selecting format method which is most suitable in web circumstance.
The main users of Webzine are late 10s to mid 30s. When webzine is designed, convenience and easiness should be offered having coherence unity of pages after considering the design factors. Multimedia webzines in domestic telecommunication companies offers information with various graphic methods to offer reality, reliance, interests and new webtechnology of information. It means Webzine goes from the content aim to the sensitivity aim, quickly reacting visual and sensitive information rather than deep information. Due to popularization of digital cameras, it's hard to make Webzine different. Companies deliver their image using flash or video clips and sound effects by sensitive keywords. However, they make downloading speed slow so it can be looked away from users. In the future, if these points are considered and there are endless studies and efforts considering above design factors, there will be effective Webzine for company image.
