| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 應用藝術所 === 87 === Besides of shape and color, texture is the most important characteristic of textile to be considered in bag design. What elements consist of textural image? Can we distinguish perceptual elements from cognitive elements in textural image? What is the relationship between these two elements? What is the relationship between textural images and physical features of fabrics? To answer these questions, this study was conducted.
In this study, sixty kinds of fabrics commonly used in bags were adopted as test samples.
Based on literature reviews as well as experts, advice, twenty-two pairs of opposite adjectives were decided as scales for making semantic differential judgements on the sixty test samples of fabrics by both male and female subjects, respectively. These subjects were also asked to make evaluations of textural similarity among the sixty test samples by grouping the samples of similar textural image together. Through factor analyses on the collected data, the consisting elements of textural image were revealed. According to factors derived, an image space of textile texture was constructed. From a further series of factor analysis, the relationship between perceptual and cognitive elements in textural image have been concluded. The analysis of MDS have resulted another set of perceptural maps of textile texture for male, female and all subjects, respectively. On comparing these maps with the image space from factor analysis, some deeper insights on textural image of people have been summarized. The analyses of multiple linear regression have generated a set of equations denoting the influential physical features on various textural images.
The result shows that the textural images between males and females are not different, although the perceptural maps from MDS reveal that females are more sophisticated in distinguishing textural image among fabrics. Since the image plane consisted by the first and second factor of factor analysis is almost identical to perceptual map from MDS, the reliability and appropriateness of these analyses can be assured. The result of analyses of mutiple linear regression have been summarized as a check list for assisting bag designers to select proper fabrics on expressing a specific textural image.
