連續圖案設計應用於臺北意象海報創作研究

Abstract

本研究在於從歷史的觀點切入，探討圖案的類型與構成方法在史前文化、東方文化、西方文化中，經由歷史的傳承、交流，所延伸出多樣的面貌。由文獻的整理分析，將圖案的創作區分為圖案類型和圖案的構成。圖案的類型主要區分為具象、抽象、文字、複合圖案四種。連續圖案的構成主要有兩種，分別是二方連續以及四方連續，透過文獻資料的分析歸納，將連續圖案的構成方法加以整合歸納出四種構圖法，分別為對稱構圖、網格構圖、鑲嵌構圖以及散點構圖這四種。

本研究運用這四種構圖法以臺北意象為主題進行圖案創作，探討各種方法組合應用之成效，藉由圖案設計表現臺北的豐富意象。希望以圖案創作傳達出對於臺北的觀察並喚起觀眾的記憶，因此選擇以海報做為表現媒材。

由文獻資料發現，圖案的表現多以單一的構圖方法進行創作，少有多種方法的組合形式，因此在創作的過程中筆者嘗試將多種構成方法組合應用。創作的結果印證了以對稱構圖的方法最容易表現，而連續圖案構圖方法組合應用更能營造視覺的效果，意外地讓圖案增添魅力。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.
