Description
Summary:碩士 === 大同大學 === 工業設計學系(所) === 97 === The purpose of this study is to explore a design method in terms of image transformation by groups, which applies to product design and its feasibility with contents to cover 4 parts : (1) to introduce an open questionnaire survey to consolidate things in image groups that conform to people’s perception and to summarize the concept pattern of images. (2) to summarize the image groups as per element relations, source and type of image groups in various patterns and to use the design of stationery group to design and draw simulated 3D drawing to implement testing of image group. (3) to introduce principal component analysis on the testing results to discuss the determinants of image group and the corresponding relationship between image groups and testing samples. (4) to use multiple regression analysis to explore image groups and cause and effect of comprehensive evaluation that covers both “creativity” and “practicability”. The image groups perceived by people can be divided as “elements in different types”, “elements in same space”, “elements in types that complement to each other” as per relationship between elements. Elements in different relations can be summarized as 6 image groups – “complement to each other”, “conflict”, “contrast”, “co-existence”, “reinforcement”, and “match”. And according to the stationery group samples designed as per design methods in various patterns, the determinants of image group are “integrated-separated”, “matched-different”, “enhanced-weakened”. In which the designed samples can be consolidated into 4 design methods as per corresponding relation between determinants of image groups, which are “matched and enhanced”, “scattered combination”, “function integration”, and “modeling integration”. A “function integration” design method is ranked the highest in terms of “creativity” and “practicability”. What affects “creativity” evaluation is “varied- monotonous” image group, i.e. the richer combination the elements, the more creative the product group. What affects “practicability” evaluation is “enhanced-weakened” image group, in other words, the product group needs to reinforce its functional features in order to enable practicability.
