朝露體——擬態手法應用於字型設計創作研究

Abstract

字型設計發展在近年越來越蓬勃，在臺灣也逐漸受到重視，而中文字型設計需要經過縝密的規劃設計，因其筆劃細節繁多，因此如何在設計字型中兼顧創意及美感平衡是相當重要的課題。本創作研究主要透過文獻分析法輔以個案研究法去了解擬態設計手法及中文字型設計之相關資料後並整合應用在中文字型創作設計，最後透過資料利用創作研究法建構出擬態手法應用於字型設計之方法規則，並以此為基礎創作中文字型「朝露體」，而後延伸應用。本論文研究內容主要針對擬態及中文字型兩大部分，第一部分將透過相關文獻了解擬態理論及探討擬態設計，並尋找出適合此次創作的擬態設計方法。第二部分則透過漢字歷史與造形設計歸納出中文字型筆劃設計與製作流程，同時將蒐集融入擬態設計手法的中文字型個案，藉以建構出擬態手法應用於字型設計之方法五點，分別為拆解構成、型態轉換、元素融合、依形增生及有機、無機轉化。經由擬態設計方法應用於字型設計及繁體中文字型製作流程進行創作，將露水意象透過擬態設計方法轉化融合明體骨架及圓體筆形並應用至朝露體中文字型設計，風格溫潤柔美，接著不斷反覆進行細節調整及易辨性與易讀性檢視直至完成三百字之中文字型設計，並將字型延伸應用至不同材質及開設個人展覽上，以展現創作字型造形的獨特性與其價值及參考。最後經過創作實證後發現，以擬態設計為發展的字型設計需注意轉化的過程，如何在形態、筆形及骨架結構間取得平衡非常考驗設計師的經驗，因此須慎選擬態的對象，而對象中又數富有多變性形態者為佳。Recently, fonts in Taiwan are taken more serious. Chinese font type design needs a clarified plan. Because Chinese font’s stroke are complicated, how to balance creativity and beauty are important. The main creation and study is not only using documents to realize Mimicry design methods and Chinese font type design but applying on Chinese font type design creation. Based on using documents to build methods of Mimicry methods and applying on font type design, the study create a Chinese font type called “Dew Font”. The study focuses on Mimicry and Chinese type. First, analysis the Mimicry methods to find how Mimicry design has become and conclusion the appropriate way of Mimicry design. Second, conclusion the stroke design process of Chinese typeface through the history of Chinese typeface and the stroke design. Collecting the Chinese font type example that were used Mimicry design methods at the same time to build five ways of Mimicry methods apply on type design. Using five ways of Mimicry design methods to turn images of dew into Chinese type design. The creation’s style is tender and beauty. The stroke’s style are special. Taking Chinese typeface design methods to make the style and strokes confirm. Keep adjusting the details about each Chinese typeface to achieve three hundred Chinese typeface. Finally, extend the creation to graphic design and provide the value of creating fonts. There are some finds after experiment. How to balance the dew’s shape and stroke is up to designer’s experiences. As a consequence, the target that chose to mimicry has to be picked cautious and the target’s shape has to be various.
