Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 工業設計系創新設計碩士班(碩士在職專班) === 104 === In the field of graphic design, points, lines, and planes form different conditions to create different sizes, thickness, volume, and shapes. As the conditions change, perceptions change along with them. Product design is the first step when consumers come in contact with a product. Even when the shapes are the same (e.g. cuboid and triangle prism), different ratios can create different perceptions, both visually and mentally.
The purpose of this study is to:
1. Explore the changes in sense of volume when viewing cuboids that have the same volume but different ratios.
2. Explore the changes in sense of volume when viewing cuboids with the same ratio but different volumes.
3. Explore the relationship between the three dimensions of a cuboid with sense of volume, perception of appearance, and sense of mass.
This study conducts an experiment and post-experiment interviews to explore the relationship between ratio and sense of volume of cuboids. Research results show that when the largest plane of a plane solid or linear solid is closer to a square, most subjects will perceive a larger volume. In contrast, when the largest plane is narrower, subjects will perceive a smaller volume. Subjects had the opposite perception when it came to mass solids. Furthermore, a considerable number of subjects had entirely opposite answers in their sense of volume, and was caused by their life experiences, the base point of comparison, and different influence from the three dimensions of cuboids. Therefore, besides examining the relationship between ratio and volume, this study further provides a basis and design recommendations for related industries and designers.
