碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系 === 101 === The study starts from the exploration of how different types and compositions of patterns developed in prehistoric culture, eastern culture and western culture through inheritance, interaction from historical perspective. According to the analysis from literature review, there are four types of patterns which are figural, abstract, text and compound patterns, while there are two kinds of compositions of continual patterns- two Sides continuous pattern and square-faced continuous pattern. Therefore, the compositions of a picture which uses continuous patterns can be categorized to four methods: symmetrical composition, grid composition, inlay composition and scattered composition. This study also discusses the effects of the combination of different approaches by using these four compositions methods to create pattern design with the theme of Taipei image. In addition, in hope of recalling viewers’ memories, poster is chosen as the media to present the pattern design and the rich imagery of Taipei. Through literature review, the layout of patterns is mostly created by one composition method; it is rare to apply various approaches at the same time. Thus, there are practices in this study which combine different ways of composition to create patterns. And the result suggests that symmetrical composition is the easiest method among all; however, mixing different kinds of composition techniques could shape richer visual effects and glamorize the pattern.
