edit
Design refers to the designer's technical creation and creative activities with goals and plans. The task of design is not just for life and Business services , accompanied by artistic creation.
According to the definition of industrial designer Victor Papanek, design is a conscious and intuitive effort to build a meaningful order. More detailed definitions are as follows:
Step 1: Understand the expectations, needs and motivations of users, and understand the needs and constraints of business, technology and industry.
Step 2: Translate these knowledge into product planning (or the product itself) to make the form, content and behavior of the product useful, usable, desirable, and economically and technically feasible. (This is the meaning and basic requirements of design)
This definition can be applied to all fields of design, although different fields have different concerns in form, content and behavior.
Design
With the development of modern science and technology knowledge society With the advent of the new era and the evolution of innovative forms, design is also evolving from the work of professional designers to more extensive user participation. User centered and user involved innovative design is increasingly attracting attention Innovation 2.0 The pattern is gradually emerging. user demand User participation and user centricity are considered as important features of design innovation under new conditions, and users become the key words of Innovation 2.0, User experience It is also considered to be the core of the Innovation 2.0 model in the knowledge society environment. Design is no longer the patent of professional designers. User participation and user centricity have become the key words of design, Fab Lab Living Lab The exploration of innovative design mode is becoming the innovative 2.0 mode of design.
The simplest definition of design is "purposeful creation".
However, design is also a profession. For example, I have the position of scene design in the film industry printing business Medium, with the post of packaging design. Different from English, the word Designer in English, when used in Chinese, and the word design and designer can be called together. From the word "design", there are quite a number of theories and topics, and "design" as a profession social environment It is usually called "design world".
Design industry Europe and America National theory has a long history of development, so History of Design And related theories, often based on European and American industrial design Architectural design is the two main trends.
Because the design behavior is generally interpreted as having a clear goal, the creation contrary to the design meaning is called random number, random, etc. in modern times.
In the West, large-scale design systems are often called Architecture buildings. The architecture here is not specific architecture, but an abstract description.
Design has become a new developing profession in contemporary China.

The design method is a general idea and may or may not include guidance for specific methods. Some are the overall goals of guiding design. The other method is to guide the designers with inclination. A combination of methods can be used if they do not conflict.
Some common methods include:
kiss principle (Keep it simple and stupid), try to eliminate unnecessary complication
There is more than one way to do this, a philosophy that allows multiple ways to do the same thing.
Use centered design is mainly related to the artifact used, rather than focusing on end user The objectives and tasks of.

sketch

In the mid-1980s, Desktop publishing And graphic art software application program Introduced the new generation of designer computers image processing And creation, which were previously executed manually. Computer graphic design enables designers to instantly view the impact of layout or changes in printing to simulate Traditional media Without requiring a lot of space. However, traditional tools, such as pencils or markers, are very useful, even the end of computers; A designer or art director may sketch part of the creative process of many concepts by hand. Some of the sketches may even show a Client Approval of early stage, further development and utilization of computer and graphic design in the designer's mind software tool

computer

Computer is regarded as an indispensable tool in the design industry. Computer and software applications are generally considered by professionals to be more effective creative tools than traditional methods. However, some designers continue to use manuals and traditional tools, such as Milton Glaser.
New ideas can come through experimental tools and methods. Some designers explore ideas with pencil and paper. Others use many different creative tools and resources from computers to sculpture as a way to stimulate creativity. A key feature of design tool The appropriate image selection is in order to possibly convey meaning.

program

Almost all popular and“ Industry standards software program Used for graphic design since the early 1990s when the product Adobe Systems was merged. They are Adobe Photoshop (Based on grid For photo editing programs), Adobe Illustrator (vector based drawing programs, Adobe InDesign Page Layouts), and Adobe Dreamweaver (Web page design). Another major page layout tool QuarkXPress QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign Usually used in the final stage of the electronic design process. Raster image Probably in Adobe Photoshop Edit, Signage And illustrations in Adobe Illustrator , Final Product assembly In a main page layout program. Most designers are expected to be proficient in at least one or two of these programs since about 1990.

constitute

Image is the external feature of an object, which is visible. Image includes Visual Elements All conceptual elements such as points, lines and planes have their own images when seen in the picture.
In graphic design Basic form In graphic design, a group of identical or similar image components, each of which becomes a basic form, and the basic form is the smallest unit. The best composition effect can be obtained by using it to arrange and combine according to certain composition principles.
Group shape: in the composition, due to the basic combination, the synthetic relation This relationship mainly includes:
1. Separation: there is no contact between shapes, and there is a certain distance;
2. Contact: the edges between shapes are tangent;
3. Overlay: there is a overlapping relationship between shapes, which results in spatial relationship
4. Overlay: between shapes Transparency They overlap each other, but do not produce the spatial relationship between up, down, front and back;
5. Combination: shapes combine with each other to form larger new shapes;
6. Subtraction: shapes cover each other, and the covered areas are cut off;
7. Difference overlap: shapes overlap each other, and new shapes are generated where they overlap;
8. Coincidence: shapes coincide with each other and become one.

Gradient

Gradual change is an effect that can be personally experienced in nature. People will feel the gradual change of trees from near to far and from large to small on the road.
Type of gradient:
1. Gradual change of shape: one basic shape gradually changes to another. The basic shape can change from complete to incomplete, or from simple to complex, or from abstract to concrete;
2. Gradual change of direction: the basic shape can be gradually changed with direction on the plane;
3. Gradual change of position: the skeleton is required when the basic shape is used for position gradual change, because when the basic shape is used for position gradual change, the part beyond the skeleton will be cut off;
4. Gradual change of size: basic shapes are arranged gradually from large to small, which will produce near far depth and Sense of space
5. Gradation of color: in color, hue Lightness , purity can produce gradient effect, and will produce Sense of level Aesthetic feeling;
6. Bones Gradual change: refers to the regular change of the skeleton, which makes the basic shape change in shape, size and direction. The line dividing the bone grid can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal broken line , curve, etc. The carefully arranged gradual bones will produce special visual effects, sometimes misperception and a sense of movement.

repeat

The general concept of repetition refers to that the same image has appeared more than twice in the same design. Repetition is a commonly used technique in design to enhance the impression and create a regular rhythm To unify the picture. The so-called sameness mainly refers to the sameness in shape, color, size, etc. in the composition of repetition. Basic shape in repetition: the shape used for repetition is called basic shape. Each basic shape is a unit, and then it is designed by repetition. The basic shape should not be complex, but simple.
Duplicate type:
1. Repetition of basic shape: the surface formed by using the same basic shape in composition design is called repetition of basic shape, which can be seen everywhere in daily life. For example, the windows of a tall building;
2. Bone repetition: if the shape and area of each unit of the bone are completely equal, it is a repeated bone, and the repeated bone is one of the regular bones, the simplest one;
3. Shape repetition: shape is the most commonly used repetition element, and the repeated shape in the whole composition can change in size, color, etc;
4. Size repetition: similar or identical shapes are repeated in size;
5. Color repetition: under the condition of the same color, the shape and size can be changed;
6. Repetition of texture: under the condition of the same texture, the size and color can be changed;
7. Repetition of direction: the shape has obvious consistency in composition directional

approximate

Approximation refers to the common characteristics in shape, size, color, texture, etc. It shows the effect of vivid changes in unity. The degree of approximation can be large or small. If the degree of approximation is large, it will produce a sense of repetition. Small approximation will destroy unity.
Approximate classification:
1. Similarity of shape: if two images belong to the same family, their shapes are similar, just like human images;
2. Approximation of the bone: The bone can be approximate rather than repetitive, that is, the shape and size of the bone unit have certain changes and are similar.
Note: the difference between approximation and gradient is Regularity Very strong. The arrangement of basic shapes is very strict, but the approximate change regularity is not strong. The basic and other visual elements change greatly and are more lively.

Bones

The bone grid determines the relationship between the basic shapes in the composition. Sometimes, the skeleton also becomes a part of the image, and different changes in the skeleton will change the overall composition.
The skeleton is divided into:
1. Regular bone: Regular bone has precise and rigorous bone lines, regular numerical relations, basic shapes arranged according to the bone, and a strong sense of order. There are mainly repetition, gradual change, emission and other bones;
2. Irregular bone: Irregular bone generally has no rigorous bone grid line, and its composition is relatively free;
3. Functional bone: The functional bone is the boundary that divides the basic shapes into their respective units. The bone gives the image an accurate space. The basic shape can freely change its position, direction, positive and negative within the bone unit, or even exceed the bone line;
4. Non functional bone: non functional bone is conceptual, and the non functional bone line is conducive to the arrangement and organization of the basic shape, but will not affect their shape, nor will it Space partition Is a relatively independent skeletal unit;
5. Repeatability Bones: the space units divided by phalangeal grid lines are identical in shape and size. It is the most regular bone, and the basic shape is based on the bone Continuity Arrangement of.

launch

Launch is a common natural phenomena The sun's rays are emitted. The launch has the regularity of direction, and the launch center is the most important visual focus. All images are concentrated towards the center or scattered from the center, which can sometimes cause an optical dynamic feeling, produce a sense of explosion, and have a strong visual effect.
Classification of emission:
1. Center point Emission: emission from the center outwards or from the outside inwards;
2. Spiral launch: the basic form of spiral has Coiling The basic form of winding gradually expands to form a spiral launch;
3. Concentric emission: concentric emission is a focus centered, layer upon layer surrounding emission, such as target Graphics for.

Specific

Specificity means that the constituent elements deliberately violate the order in the ordered relationship, making a few individual elements stand out, so as to break the regularity.
Specific classification:
1. Shape specificity: A small number of unique shapes appear in many repeated or similar basic shapes to form a difference contrast and become the visual focus on the screen;
2. Specificity of size: In the composition of the same basic shape, only make some special contrast in size, but pay attention to the moderate specificity of the basic shape in size, and do not contrast too widely or too similarly;
3. Color specificity: in the same category Color composition Add some contrast elements to break the monotony;
4. Direction specificity: most of the basic forms are arranged in order and consistent in direction, while a few of the basic forms are changed in direction to form a special effect;
5. Texture specificity: different texture changes are caused by the same texture.

contrast

Sometimes the contrast is in form, sometimes in color and texture. The contrast can produce a clear, positive, strong visual effect and give a deep impression. The nature is full of contrast. The world, land and sea, red flowers and green leaves are all contrast phenomena. The relations that constitute the contrast include: size, light and shade, sharpness, weight, etc.
Classification of comparison:
1. Shape contrast: Completely different shapes can produce some contrast, but we should pay attention to the sense of unity;
2. Size contrast: the contrast formed by different shapes in the area of the picture and different lengths of lines;
3. Color contrast: color contrast caused by different hue, light and shade, shade, cold and warm;
4. Texture contrast: the contrast caused by different texture senses, such as thickness, smoothness, and concave convex texture;
5. Position comparison: the positions of shapes in the picture are different, such as the upper, lower, left, right, high and low positions;
6. Comparison of center of gravity: stable, unstable Sense of lightness Comparison caused by differences;
7. Space contrast: the contrast generated by the positive and negative in the plane, the bottom, the distance and the front and back;
8. The contrast between the virtual and the real: the realistic figure in the picture is called the real, the space is virtual, and the virtual place is mostly the bottom.
It should be noted that in the use of comparison, it is required that Sense of wholeness All aspects of the visual elements should have a certain general trend and a key point to set off each other. If we compare everywhere, we cannot emphasize the factors of comparison.

concentrated

Denseness is commonly used in design Organization Chart The basic shape can be freely scattered throughout the composition, with sparse and dense patterns. The most sparse or dense place often becomes the visual focus of the whole design. Create a visual tension on the surface, like the magnetic field, with a sense of rhythm. Denseness is also a kind of contrast, which uses the number of basic forms arranged to produce density, emptiness and tightness Contrast effect
Intensive classification:
1. Point density: in the design, a conceptual point is placed at a certain point on the composition, and the basic shape tends to be this point density in terms of organization and arrangement. The closer to this point, the denser, and the farther away from this point, the thinner;
2. Denseness of lines: there is a conceptual line in the composition. The basic shape is denser towards this line, and the densest position is online. The farther offline, the thinner the basic shape is;
3. Free and dense: in the composition, the organization of the basic shape has no dense constraints of points or lines, and is completely free and scattered without rules. The density changes of the basic shape are more subtle;
4. Crowding and alienation: crowding is over crowding, and all basic shapes in the whole composition are in a crowding state, occupying all the space without any sparsity. In contrast to dispersion, the basic shapes in the whole composition are separated from each other and scattered in all corners. The dispersion can be uniform or uneven.
It should be noted that in the Dense effect In processing, the area of basic shapes should be small and the number should be large, so as to have a dense effect. The shape of the basic shape can be the same or similar, with some changes in size and direction. In the intensive composition, the important thing is the intensive organization of the basic form. There must be a trend of tension and movement, and the organization cannot be lax.

skin texture

Texture is also called texture. Due to the different materials of objects, the arrangement, organization and structure of the surface are different, resulting in a rough, smooth, soft and hard feeling.
Textural Creative methods
1. Change of stroke: use the thick, thin, hard, soft, heavy strokes and different arrangement of strokes to describe different texture effects;
2. Print and extension: Carve and naturally form uneven surfaces with ink or paint, and then print them on the drawing, which will form a primitive texture;
3. Painting: using Airbrush Or with Metal mesh With the toothbrush, after brushing down the dissolved paint, Pigment Spray on paper in the form of fog;
4. Dyeing: For surfaces with strong water absorption, liquid pigments can be used for rendering and dyeing. Pigments will naturally disperse on the surface, producing natural and beautiful texture effects;
5. Paper: Different kinds of paper have different thickness, texture and structure due to different processing materials, or have special texture effect due to artificial folding and kneading.

space

Generally speaking, it refers to the space 2D space Sense of space Expressive technique There are the following points:
1. Use size to express the sense of space: things of the same size have a sense of size due to different distances. On the plane, we feel close if the area is large, and far if the area is small;
2. Overlapping performance: when one shape overlaps another on the plane, there will be a sense of front, back and up and down, creating a sense of space;
3. Using shadows to express: the distinction of shadows will make objects have a three-dimensional feeling and a concave convex feeling of objects;
4. The performance of spacing density: the density change of small images or lines can produce a sense of space. In reality, like a curtain with dot patterns, the patterns at its rolling place will become dense. The smaller the spacing, the farther the feeling will be;
5. Utilization Parallel line Change the direction of: change the direction of arranging parallel lines, will produce a three-dimensional illusion;
6. Color change: use The warmth of color Change, cool color far from, Warm color Proximity;
7. Manifestation of texture change: rough surface makes people feel close, and fine surface makes people feel far away;
8. Contradiction space The so-called contradiction space refers to the space that cannot exist in the real space, but only exists in the hypothetical space.
Space design mainly reflects three-dimensional space The space image design is the most intuitive and can reflect Design concept One of Formal design
In multidimensional solid Space observation Build a harmonious brand space image.
Space image is not a simple existence, it is a variety of Cultural elements The carrier of. In multiple dimensions Three-dimensional space Integrated design , will Brand connotation And terminal Visual image Better integration. And it will give the brand unique passion energy Design thinking , building a harmonious and unified brand image , showing a strong connotation and guiding force Terminal image System.

Figure and bottom

There is a relationship between the picture and the bottom. In nature, blue sky and white clouds, red flowers and green leaves all reflect a relationship between contrast and setting off. In graphic design, the graph and the bottom are inseparable, sometimes in reverse.
Application of drawing and bottom in design:
1. color value High sense of having pictures;
2. The convex image in the concave and convex changes has a positive image;
3. The comparison of area size is medium, and the small one has a sense of picture;
4. The shape surrounded in the space has a sense of picture;
5. In both static and dynamic, dynamic has a sense of picture;
6. Between abstract and concrete, the concrete has a sense of picture;
7. In geometric patterns, the bottom of the figure can be determined according to the contrast relationship. The greater the contrast, the easier it is to distinguish between the figure and the bottom.
Inversion between the bottom and the graph: sometimes the characteristics of the bottom and the graph are very similar, which is not easy to distinguish. This is the inversion of the bottom.

Break up

Breaking up is a composition method of decomposition and combination, which is to divide a complete thing into various parts and then reassemble it according to certain composition principles. This method is conducive to grasping the internal structure and characteristics of things, observing and understanding things from different angles, extracting abstract elements from a concrete form, and using these abstract elements to form a new form to produce a new sense of beauty.

rhythm

Rhythm is one of the ways to express dynamics. When the same element appears repeatedly, it will form a sense of movement Psychological activities The expression of rhythm is that the picture is full of vitality and how it is formed.
1. One dimensional prosodic expression: the basic form is called one dimensional prosodic repeatedly in a single direction from top to bottom, left to right. At this time, if the spacing of basic forms is the same, there will be less prosodic changes. For example, the prices of basic forms are different, which will lead to complex Prosodic sense
2. The rhythmic expression of the second dimension: like the Go board repeating in the upper, lower, left and right directions, it is called the second dimension rhythmic expression. The basic form can be equally spaced or have certain changes;
3. Use gradual change to express rhythm: produce rhythm according to the rule change of mathematical rationality, and the change of mathematical ratio has rules to follow, which can cause gradual change to produce a sense of rhythm.

division

stay Plane composition In Chinese, dividing the whole into parts is called segmentation. This phenomenon can be seen at any time in daily life, for example, the ceiling and floor of the house constitute a division. Here are some common segmentation methods:
1. Isomorphic segmentation: it is required that the shape is exactly the same. After segmentation, it will have a good effect to choose the dividing line;
2. Free segmentation: free segmentation is irregular. The method of free segmentation of the screen is different from the neat effect of mathematical rule segmentation, but its arbitrary segmentation gives people a lively and unconstrained feeling;
3. Proportion and sequence: composition completed by proportion usually has the characteristics of order and clarity, giving people a fresh feeling. Separation gives certain rules, such as Golden section method , series, etc.

balance

In modeling, the sense of balance is very important. Because of the visual satisfaction caused by balance, people's eyes can Observation object A sense of balance and stability is generated.
The balance is mainly divided into:
1. Symmetrical balance: for example, people, butterflies, and some Central axis The shape is symmetrical around the center;
2. Asymmetrical balance: Although there is no central axis, it is not symmetrical, but it has a good sense of balance.

array

The basic form is the most basic in composition Unit element In the process of clustering unit elements, countless combination forms may be changed. In order to keep the composition changes from being messy, simple geometric forms are preferred for basic forms.
The arrangement principle of basic shapes:
1. Arrangement of basic shape and line assembly: arrangement direction Horizontal development , developed into the status quo graph, with strong directionality. sure horizontal direction Or diagonal direction.
2. Planar arrangement: the basic shapes are arranged in a quadratic direction to form a planar figure;
3. Circular arrangement: develop the basic linear arrangement into a curve to connect the two ends;
4. Radial arrangement: the basic shape is arranged outward from the center, resulting in a radial pattern;
5. Symmetrical arrangement: the basic shape is symmetrically arranged from left to right, with regular and orderly arrangement.

definition

Graphic design is the art of communication, stylization and problem solving through words and images. Graphic design is often mistaken as Visual communication Or communication design. Graphic design uses a variety of different methods to create and combine words, symbols and images to generate visual ideas and information. Graphic designer Maybe use font arrangement visual arts And layout technology product design achieve anticipate result

purpose

Common uses of graphic design include logos (trademarks and brands), publications (magazines, newspapers and books) Print advertising , posters, billboards, websites Graphic element , logo and product packaging. For example, Product packaging May include trademarks or other works of art, arranged texts and pure Design Elements , such as unified style images, shapes and colors. Combination is one of the most important characteristics of graphic design, especially when products use pre-existing materials or multiple elements.

element

1. Conceptual elements, the so-called concept elements are those things that do not actually exist and are invisible, but people's consciousness can feel them. For example, when we see a sharp corner figure, we feel a little bit on it, and there are edge lines on the outline of the object. Conceptual elements include point, line and face.
2. Visual Elements : Conceptual elements will be meaningless if they are not reflected in the actual design. Conceptual elements are usually embodied through visual elements, which include the size, shape, color, etc. of graphics.
3. Relationship element: how visual elements are organized and arranged on the screen, yes Depend on relationship Element. Including: direction, position, space, center of gravity, etc.
4. Practical element: refers to the meaning, content, purpose and function of the design.

framework

Graphic Artist Designer
Next, we will introduce the composition of graphic design.
Plane composition As a door design Basic courses The education of Bauhaus The school of design was later applied to various fields of design, such as clothing, decoration, interior design, modeling design, architecture, painting, etc. Through the study of this course, students can deepen their understanding of the relationship between form and form, and cultivate their ability to organize and create form.
Definition of composition: composition is a modeling concept. It is to reassemble different or the same morphological units into a new unit image, giving Visual perception New form image.
Constituent elements
Conceptual elements: points, lines, surfaces and bodies that exist in the mind.
Visual elements: the concept elements are reflected in the actual design, including size, shape, color, texture, etc.
Relationship element: it is to organize and arrange the visual elements on the screen, which is the basis for forming a picture Visual communication The purpose of. Including direction, position, space, center of gravity, etc.
Practical element: refers to the content, purpose and function expressed by the design.

Logo design

Announce
edit

characteristic

1、 Design speed. That is, under the fast pace of modern life, Logo design It should be clear and concise at a glance;
2、 Designed accuracy That is, the works of the design company reflect the accuracy of the content, and the logo design must reflect the company, group commercial organization The nature and characteristics of the commodity;
3、 Designed information content The design should reflect the breadth and depth of the content.

main points

1、 Identification of design signs. Logo design Must have a unique personality, easy to make the public know and remember, leaving a good impression. But relatively speaking, if the logo works of the design company are similar to those of others, and they look familiar, the design with no features and vague features will certainly not impress people;
2、 Originality of design. Design is expensive, with original ideas and Shaping The same is true of logo design. The original logo will leave a unique impression in the public's mind and stand the test of time. Originality can be created out of nothing, or design creativity can be added to traditional and daily life to bring forth new ideas;
3、 The times of design. The logo design cannot be out of touch with the times, which gives people the impression of being outdated and backward. The symbol of a modern enterprise must, of course, have a sense of modernity; Enterprises rich in historical traditions should also inject the taste of the times, carry forward the past and usher in the future, and guide the trend;
4、 Designed Regionality Each institutional enterprise has a different regional character, which may be reflected in the historical background of the institution, the cultural roots behind the products or services, and the scope and target of the market. Signs can have obvious regional characteristics; But relatively speaking, it can also have strong International image This is often the most difficult place for designers of design companies to grasp;
V Logo design Of Applicability The logo design must be suitable for the visual transmission media used by institutions and enterprises. Each media has different characteristics or limitations, and the application of trademarks must adapt to the conditions of each media. The shape, size, color and texture should be considered carefully. Thus the design works have better applicability.

spirit

A good logo design created by a design company basically requires three major spirits:
1、 The assertiveness of design. The design company must clarify the ideal idea pursued by the enterprise, and then transform it into understandable graphics, and take the most appropriate theme as the expression of creativity, finally forming the unique value and culture of the enterprise;
2、 Internationality of design. This refers to starting from the local, rather than Europe and America The Japanese view is the appeal, which can make people feel the Chinese (Taiwan) enterprises or brands at a glance, and gradually form a favorable impression. In short Local culture It means "meaning" Western Aesthetics To represent the formation of "shape" to meet the internationalization;
3、 Design force Mobility The design company needs to transform from a decent, honest and practical image to an innovative, challenging and active modern enterprise. The sign of stability can no longer be enterprise operation The symbol of. How to reflect the modern demands through the signs, it is necessary to be powerful and dynamic.

essential factor

Sign design must have three elements of width, height and length:
1、 The breadth of design. It refers to the ability to passbook , cards or gifts can be used in a wide range of shapes. Some Kanban designs are very beautiful, but once used in passbooks or cards, they become a mess. Such logo design is not good, and must be able to communicate with all enterprises instrument of propaganda or publicity It is a good idea to be able to use Logo design
2、 The height of the design. It refers to the feeling of being international and having a high degree of completion in terms of color and shape of modeling;
3、 The length of the design. It refers to time Ductility That is, a good design company can not create works that are considered obsolete and outdated only two or three years ago, but must be able to coexist and develop with the enterprise. Therefore, the logo design should be applicable for at least 10-20 years.

Interior design

For thousands of years, the history and style of interior design has its own internal development mechanism, but at the same time, it is closely related to the development of society and basically keeps pace with the development. Take Europe for example, ancient Greek In its heyday, it was the architectural complex and temple interior of the city-state's god of protection, Ancient Rome Pure consumption Large public buildings , medieval Religious architecture Therefore, the unique interior design Art genre And style.

Ancient Egyptian style

ancient Egypt The Egyptians, who mainly engaged in farming and believed in gods and the afterlife, built a large number of shrines and royal tombs with stones (the upper class built houses with bricks, the civilians dug holes for houses, and used sticks and mud as walls). The walls and ceilings of the tomb are mostly covered with murals and decorative patterns. A large number of furniture were unearthed from the tomb, such as: Armchair Folding chair Benches, beds, tables, tables, etc. Most of the chairs are decorated with colored carvings and inlaid with gold, silver and elephant legs. The structure of the furniture adopts the connection method of wooden bars and wooden bars, and there are tenons and other methods. Reflects Ancient Egypt High level of woodworking technology.

Romanesque

During the period of the ancient Roman republic, the Romans were warlike, reflecting their simple and rigorous style in culture and art. After the era of the emperor in 31 AD, due to material wealth and slave labor, the nobility began to live in luxury. The typical residence is a columnar atrium with two courtyards in the front and back, a reception room with a large skylight in the center of the atrium, various rooms for family members in the backyard, a reception room for ancestors and family gods in the center, and the host's reception room.
Ancient Rome Furniture from Italy Pompeii Site Unearthed Metal furniture and Marble furniture , as well as various rotary wooden leg seats seen from the murals deck chair , tables, cabinets, etc. Similar to the seat of an ancient Greek bishop, with outward curved legs Armchair In the early Middle Ages of the 5th to 6th centuries, the combination of ancient Roman style and local characteristics produced the Roman style. From the 11th century to the 12th century, religious buildings prevailed. The Roman style was developed from the European basilica churches, which thickened the walls of Roman arched buildings Thick wall The solemn beauty produced, and Church architecture There are few windows and the interior is very dark, resulting in interior decoration relief Indoor sculpture Of Mystery , this is its artistic characteristics

gothic

Europe Gothic The style came into being at the beginning of the 12th and 13th centuries Religious architecture Indoor columns arranged vertically and the tapered upward thin columns Plaid Arch opening, flame shaped molding decoration, curling Linen , spiral and other decorative patterns to create a solemn and mysterious atmosphere of religious supremacy. At the end of the 14th century, Europe economic development When people become rich, the general interior decoration tends to be gorgeous in shape and rich in color. The number of wealthy people in Britain is increasing. The residences of ordinary citizens also pursue beautiful and bright effects and exquisite decoration. The typical practice is to use furniture that imitates arched lines and feet.

European style

The Renaissance The style of the period has the cultural characteristics of breaking through the feudalism and closeness of medieval decoration and attaching importance to human nature. Move the center of culture and art from the palace to the people, and Ancient Greek Culture Ancient Roman Culture On the basis of re understanding, it has the significance of regenerating and enriching the classical style. The Renaissance began in Italy in the 14th century. From the 15th century to the 16th century, it entered a prosperous period, and gradually formed its own unique style in European countries. Italian Renaissance Most of the furniture in the Tang Dynasty does not reveal the structural parts, but emphasizes the surface carving, and uses the technique of detailed description, which has a rich and gorgeous effect. The interior and furniture wood carvings of the French Renaissance were its main decorative techniques. The British Renaissance style seems to show the characteristics of Gothic style, but with the Residential buildings With the rapid development of, indoor technology occupies the main position.

Baroque Rococo

European in the 17th century Baroque The era when the style was popular was a variant of the Renaissance style. Its artistic characteristics are distorted to break the overall modeling form of the Renaissance, and it also emphasizes the importance of using straight lines Linetype The flowing and changing modeling features have excessive decoration and gorgeous and heavy effect. In the interior, painting, sculpture and craft are concentrated on decoration and Art of furnishings On, Wall decoration To show the exquisite France Tapestry Mainly, as well as the wall decorated with large mirror or marble, and precious wood trim boards with overlapping lines and feet. Cat foot furniture and other kinds of furniture with gorgeous colors and gold coordination, and line and curve coordination Decoration technology The use of means constitutes a solemn and luxurious atmosphere in the room.
Rococo The style is a style developed in Europe after the Baroque style. Compared with the thick and heavy features of the Baroque style, Rocco is famous for its uneven lightness and slim curves, and the interior decorations imported from China and India to Europe have influenced it. The word "rococo" comes from the rockery "rocayo" made of shells and rocks in the court gardens of France, which was mistakenly called "rococo" by the Italians and spread widely. It is characterized by the use of shell curves, folds and curved composition segmentation in modeling and decoration, which is extremely complicated and gorgeous, and colorful Chinese volume The extensive use of grass patterns has the outstanding characteristics of lightness, mobility, outward expansion and the integration of figures, plants and animals in the patterns.

Modernism

Interior design
John Ruskin and William Morris It was sown Modern Design And cultivated them; Early twentieth century Art Nouveau And cultivated this land; These ultimately contributed to the development of Germany Bauhaus The sprouting of this bud.
Modern design provides people with a new way of thinking industrial product And the communication between each other has a new understanding of the quality of life.
However, in the second half of the twentieth century, when the tree of design was supposed to blossom and bear fruit, the whole world was driven by the rapid economic development. In such a torrent, the design can not be spared and can only run one by one.
Whether John Ruskin, William Morris or Bauhaus design idea Behind it, there are more or less socialist colors.
The products produced by industrialization are closely related to the economy, which John Ruskin and William Morris hate. Weimar Bauhaus was born under the background of the socialist government. It can be said that the socialist trend led to the formation of Bauhaus thought.
With some Idealism Constituent society Ethical relationship It is a prerequisite for the generation of design concepts. The purer this concept is, the more difficult it is to implement it on the land where economic development is the key.
The principle of economic development is very clear. In order to stimulate the consumption development of modern people, new products emerge in endlessly; In order to enable these products to be circulated as consumer objects, various media tried their best to promote them, and advertising media evolved rapidly.
Design has been effectively organized into the process of economic development.
Speaking of Modernism , I have to say Le Corbusier (Le Corbusier, October 6, 1887 August 27, 1965) and Mies van der Rohe (Mies van der Rohe)。 Le Corbusier is a painter carving And architecture Modernist Architecture Master. He summed up the new architectural language when he designed the Shawoi Villa in 1929, which became a modern architectural design Classic works one of. He paid close attention to the residential research of middle and lower class people and advocated mass produced industrial housing. "Marseille" built in 1952 Residential unit ”It is a masterpiece of modernist apartment buildings. Le Corbusier explored the language of modernism extensively, studied the modular and industrial prefabricated production housing deeply, and wrote and practiced. He designed it in his later years Langxiang Church Its rough and metaphorical modeling design is world-famous, especially the profound and mysterious artistic conception and atmosphere of the interior create unforgettable experience.
Mies van der Rohe is a design giant who not only devotes himself to the study of detail design, but also holds religious beliefs and transcends space. He was right Modernist design The influence is far-reaching, and the design tends to the artistic research of modeling and the concept of broad space, rather than taking function as the annotation of design. Barcelona, which he designed in 1929 International Exposition And the 38 storey office building of Sigmund Brewing Company completed in 1958, designed in 1968 West Berlin Museums in the 20th century are milestones of modernist architectural design. In the interior space design, he advocated "flexible and versatile, unobstructed looking around", put forward the slogan "less is more", and strived for a simple "crystal box" style in modeling. He pays attention to detail design and attaches great importance to connection and node processing. Materials used Pay attention to and use more valuable materials. These practices have a great impact on the Late modernism The architecture and interior design have an impact.

Postmodernism

In the design world“ Postmodernism ”This new word refers to the kind of Architecture , the intelligentsia and Production design The popular phenomenon formed around the boundary. This phenomenon first appeared in Italy, and then spread to all developed country Just as its literal meaning describes, "post-modernism" is a relative concept to "modernism" in terms of its ideological connotation New era When we review postmodernism again, we will find that it has not become History of Design The turning point in history. It is just that after the design idea was awakened by modernism Intergenerational process A confusion that arises in. A careful observation will reveal that "postmodernism" is actually a symbol of modernist designers going "aging". As far as modeling design is concerned, postmodernism is well organized Semiotic system , is a style.
Why do we feel funny when we see pictures of people wearing old style clothes? This is because the whole society is chasing popularity. Similarly, review from the perspective of the 21st century Postmodernism , you will also feel funny - just like seeing streamline The revival of.

Two points should be paid attention to when designing a website: overall style and Color matching

style

The overall style of the website and Creative design It is the most difficult to learn. The difficulty is that there is no fixed model to refer to and imitate. Given you a theme, no two people can design exactly the same website.
Style is abstract. It refers to the overall image of the site for visitors Comprehensive feeling This "overall image" includes CI (logo, color, font, slogan), layout, browsing method Interactivity , words, tone, content value, significance, site honor and many other factors.

Color matching

Whether it is graphic design or web design, color is always the most important part. When we are far away from the display screen, what we see is not beautiful layout or beautiful pictures, but the color of the web page.
Tips for page color matching:
1. Use a color: here, select a color, and then adjust the transparency or saturation , such pages look uniform in color and layered;
2. Use two colors: first select a color, then select its Contrast color
3. Use a color system: simply, use a feeling color, such as light blue, light yellow, and light green; Or soil yellow, soil gray, soil blue.
In the color matching of web pages, remember some mistakes:
1. Don't use all colors, try to control within three to five colors;
2. The contrast between the background and the previous text should be as large as possible (never use complicated patterns as the background), so as to highlight the main text content.

Machine Design, according to the user's use requirements, conceives, analyzes and calculates the working principle, structure, motion mode, force and energy transmission mode, material, shape and size of each part, lubrication method, etc. of special machinery, and converts them into specific descriptions as the basis for manufacturing working process
Mechanical design is an important part of mechanical engineering, the first step of mechanical production, and the decision Mechanical properties The most important factor of. The goal of mechanical design is: Theoretical knowledge And calculation means, etc.) optimal design Optimization design needs to comprehensively consider many requirements, generally including the best working performance and the lowest Manufacturing cost , minimum size and weight, the most reliable in use, the least consumption and the least environmental pollution. These requirements are often contradictory, and their relative importance varies with the type and use of machinery. The task of the designer is to weigh the weight according to the specific situation, make overall plans, and make the designed machinery have the optimal synthesis Technical and economic effects In the past, the optimization of design mainly depended on the knowledge, experience and foresight of designers. With mechanical engineering Basic theory and value engineering Development of new disciplines, such as system analysis, and technologies for manufacturing and use economic data Accumulation of data, promotion and application of computers, and gradual abandonment of optimization subjective judgment And rely on Scientific computing Different machines serving different industries apply different working principles and require different functions and characteristics.
Mechanical Design Forum It provides communication in this regard. The design of industrial machinery, especially the mechanical design of the whole and the whole system, must be attached to the relevant Industrial technology It is difficult to form an independent discipline. Therefore, agricultural machinery design, mining machinery design, textile machinery design, automobile design, ship design, pump design Compressor design Steam turbine Design, internal combustion engine design, machine tool design and other professional mechanical design disciplines. However, there are many professional designs Generic Technology , for example Mechanism analysis And synthesis, force and energy analysis and calculation Engineering Materials , material strength, transmission, lubrication, sealing, standardization, reliability Workmanship , optimization, etc. In addition, there are also emerging designs that study the internal laws of design work and the reasonable steps and methods of design Methodology Combine the common technology of mechanical design with Rationalization The design methodology of Educators We are working hard.
