Emotional design of traditional Chinese cultural creative products based on user demand

Mortice-tenons are the main structural forms of ancient buildings, furniture, and woodwork in China. They are the inheritance of China's craft and cultural spirit, follow the principles of mechanics and have strong practicability. How-ever, mortice-tenons have gradually disappeared from modern life, mainly be-cause they cannot meet the specific needs of users. The purpose of this study is to establish a set of mortice-tenons structure innovation and product design for modern people. By analyzing the types and structural characteristics of mortice-tenon structure, based on the user's needs, using modern creative design methods, and combining with practice, we can verify how to further improve the market acceptance of mortice-tenon structure innovation prod-ucts, constantly explore the combination of modern technology and material experiments, and explore the emotional design of China traditional cultural creative products. Finally, it is proposed that further research is needed in this field to fully understand the user's behavior of using mortice-tenon structure innovation products, and at the same time, mortice-tenon structure innova-tion is applied to daily necessities and furniture products to meet the needs of a wider range of user scenarios.

Research on Cultural and Creative Design Based on Modal Theory and AIGC Technology

Abstract Modal theory is an important basis for studying cultural inheritance and dissemination. This paper combines modal theory and AIGC technology to innovate the cultural and creative design method. Through the calculation and analysis of modal recognition degree and other indicators, the modal factors that should be applied or innovated in cultural and creative design are identified. Using this paper’s cultural and creative design method, the analysis of Liangzhu culture and Shu brocade patterns is conducted separately. In the Liangzhu culture modal recognition, the higher recognition is pattern representation, morphological representation, and artifact function, and the lower recognition is color representation, aesthetic concept, material representation, and philosophical thought. The order of the popularity of the modal elements of pattern representations is from high to low: abstract pattern > animal pattern > geometric pattern. The traditional patterns of Shu brocade are in the order of color expression: A (0.209) > subject matter content, D (0.206) > surface features, C (0.162) > organization, B (0.148) > aesthetic meaning, F (0.138) > symbolic meaning E (0.137). When using AIGC to assist cultural and creative design, it is necessary to take into account the modal factors with smaller weight values to ensure that the final design can be loved by the public and achieve the dual goals of cultural heritage and economic benefits.

A framework for remotely enabled co-design with young people: its development and application with neurodiverse children and their caregivers.

This paper describes an innovative Framework for Remotely Enabled Co-Design with Young people (FREDY), which details an adaptable four-stage process for generating design concepts with children and other key stakeholders in a naturalistic and inclusive way. Recommendations from existing patient engagement and design methodologies were combined to provide research teams with procedures to capture and analyse end-user requirements rapidly. Resulting insights were applied through iterative design cycles to achieve accelerated and user-driven innovation. Applying this framework with neurodiverse children within the context of healthcare, shows how creative design methods can give rise to new opportunities for co-creating across diverse geographies, abilities, and backgrounds as well as strengthen co-designer approval of the co-design process and resulting product. We summarise key learnings and principles for fostering trust and sustaining participation with remote activities, and facilitating stakeholder design input through continuous collaboration, as well as highlight the potential benefits and challenges of utilising FREDY with neurotypical populations.

Cultural Creative Product Design Methods under the Path of User Empathy

Abstract As consumption upgrades, China’s cultural and creative industry is experiencing rapid growth. However, user empathy remains lacking in some products. This paper explores a design method for these products based on empathy theory. It employs the TF-IDF algorithm to extract semantic features from product texts and uses the SVM algorithm for classification. Post-classification, the LDA theme model analyzes sentiment, integrating both visual and semantic models to enhance product design. An analysis of cultural and creative products using data analysis software reveals that approximately 79.5% of user comments exhibit positive sentiment, with an average sentiment score of 2.9218 and a peak score of 39.1363. This suggests strong positive emotional responses from nearly 80% of users. The proposed method effectively enhances user-product interaction and empathy.

Traditional Cultural and Creative Product Design Methods Combining Digital Art Elements

Abstract As a mode of perpetuating and revitalizing traditional culture, cultural and creative products have garnered widespread affection and recognition from the public. In the context of evolving societal trends and advancements in science and technology, the digitization of traditional cultural and creative products has emerged as a prominent trend. This study undertakes the digital design of these products, primarily focusing on the innovative application of a style transfer algorithm to traditional motifs, supplemented by their visualization through digital platforms such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Furthermore, it facilitates intelligent consumer interaction via gesture recognition algorithms, thereby enhancing user engagement and experience. During the implementation phase, this research conducts comparative analyses of style transfer and gesture recognition within digital cultural and creative products. It also employs the Kano questionnaire to categorize and analyze user needs effectively. Notably, while the recall rate of the style transfer algorithm documented in this study remains below 0.9, it consistently achieves high precision, significantly enhances feature extraction capabilities, and improves the quality of the style transfer effects produced. Moreover, the static gesture recognition algorithm achieves an impressive average recognition rate of 98.2%. The dynamic gesture recognition algorithm, meanwhile, maintains an average recognition rate of 94% with a processing time of 3.2 seconds, balancing the demands of real-time interaction and accuracy effectively. This study systematically analyzes the significance of each requirement element across six dimensions, classifying customer needs for digital cultural and creative products into four distinct categories. Additionally, it delineates a viable pathway for the integration of digital art elements into the design of artistic and innovative products, setting a foundation for future innovations in this field.

Application and Optimization of Multimodal Information Communication in Cultural and Creative Products in the New Media Era

Abstract As one of the most important parts of today’s cultural industry products, the design and presentation form of cultural and creative products have been optimized with the development of new media technology. Based on the multimodal theory, the study constructs a system of cultural and creative products using graph neural networks, attention mechanisms, knowledge maps, and other cultural and creative product design methods. The cultural representation evaluation system of cultural and creative products is constructed using the hierarchical analysis method, and the cultural and creative products designed by the model of this paper are evaluated. Analyze the color of cultural and creative products to examine the performance of this paper’s model on color. By analyzing the user experience score of cultural and creative products, the design effect of this paper’s model is explored. In the evaluation index system of cultural representation of cultural and creative products, the largest proportion of the weight of the criterion layer is the external level (54.68%), and the evaluation index with the largest comprehensive weight is the pattern (27.08%). The cultural and creative products designed by the model of this paper have the largest weight proportion of the value to be modified in pattern and material, which are 36.63% and 24.15%, respectively. The mean value of each of the chromaticity analyses is less than 2, and the mean value of the total color difference is less than 3, indicating that the color performance of the cultural and creative products designed by the model of this paper is excellent. The overall scores of the four types of cultural and creative products designed by the model of this paper are between 3.92 and 4.04 in terms of user experience, and the user experience is better.

Audience-oriented Aesthetic and Creative Research on Animated Films Based on Visual Communication Design

Abstract Animation movie conveys the connotation of animation to the audience through visual symbols, and the audience-oriented animation movie improves the aesthetic ability and diversifies the creative design. This paper starts with the analysis of visual communication design technology in animated films, analyzes the principle of visual communication design of animated images, and realizes the production of animated films by using multi-visual 3D animation modeling and texture rendering technology. The Sobel edge operator is introduced to optimize the image edge data of animated movies, so as to improve the image quality of animated movies. The development trend of visual communication design is discussed, and the aesthetic characteristics of visual communication design for animated films and the mutual influence between them are analyzed. In order to explore the aesthetic expression and creative design methods of animated films, quantitative analysis of data was conducted using current animated film works. The results show that the bit code rate in the full intra-frame coding mode of optimized production of animated images using visual communication technology is −1.87%, the highest quality factor is around 0.95, and the variation of smoothness is kept between 80% and 90%. Audience-oriented visual communication design of animated films should be based on the utility of information conveyance and rhythmic rhyme design and prompt the creative design of animated films through association, whimsy, metaphor, style and other ways.

Generative design and insights in strategies for the development of innovative products with tailored mechanical and/or functional properties

Creative design methods should allow the extraction of novel wisdoms and favour their integration into many technological domains, thus leading to an innovative product. The current research reports some technical considerations on the role of generative design as a “collaborative partner” in supporting the ideation process through the development of design alternatives in agreement with the designer’s criteria. A specific case study was considered and the role of the generative design method was stressed, also focusing on technical features and differences in terms of solutions for the given design problem. The possibility of selecting well defined manufacturing methods (e.g., traditional or advanced – additive manufacturing) was highlighted.

A creative wide-frequency and large-amplitude vibration isolator design method based on magnetic negative stiffness and displacement amplification mechanism

Negative stiffness vibration isolation devices have attracted significant attention and research interest for their ability to enhance the low-frequency vibration isolation performance of passive vibration isolators. However, their narrow linear negative stiffness region has hindered their broader application. To address this limitation, a novel design method for vibration isolators is proposed, integrating the permanent magnetic negative stiffness device (NSD) with the displacement amplification mechanism (DAM). The paper begins by presenting a specific vibration isolator design method and analyzing the kinematic relationship. Next, a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) nonlinear equivalent model of the vibration isolator is established using the pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) approach. Numerical simulations are then conducted to obtain the transmissibility of the isolator. Furthermore, two isolators—one with the displacement amplification effect and another without—are manufactured, and experimental investigations are carried out. The experimental results confirm that the incorporation of the displacement amplification mechanism effectively expands the linear negative stiffness region of the negative stiffness magnet pair, enabling wide-frequency and large-amplitude vibration isolation. Notably, these experimental findings align well with the simulation results. In summary, this paper proposes a creative design method for wide frequency and large amplitude vibration isolators, and proves it through theoretical analysis and experimental validation.

Exploring Movement-Modifier Facilitation in Movement-based Sports, Health, and Game Design

It can be daunting to ensure a movement flow that unleashes creativity when facilitating movement-based design activities that aim for play, games, sports, and technology domains. When incorporating movement in game design, it is vital to understand game and learning elements but equally movement and play elements because these are important motivational factors. To fully understand the play, sport, and physical activity aspects of movement-game design, we must investigate the world of physical activity and performance. As a part of the Erasmus+ project, MeCaMInD, the innovative design of Movement-Modifier cards was developed, intended as a tool in the facilitation process to engage participants in physical exploration, supporting, modifying, or tweaking movement-based design practices for an inclusive game and physical activity and performance design. The Movement-Modifiers is grounded in sports and health theories, creative design tools and methods. To harvest the Movement-Modifier’s tweaking creative potential, it is crucial to understand when and how to use them in the generative parts of a movement-based design process. Grounded in a phenomenological approach and based on a multiple case study, this paper explores how eight facilitators used the Movement-Modifiers to challenge and tweak the generative processes. The cases are 1) A two-day sports innovation camp for 80 K12 high school students, 2) A workshop on Inclusive exergame design with 15 participants at the Nordic Innovation Summit 2022, 3) A course teaching 65 sport bachelor students the creative acrobatic body performance design. Empirical data were generated using a combination of observations, video recordings, and interviews, and the phenomenological analysis was condensed into written facilitator narratives. We present Movement-Modifier facilitation strategies in three phases of movement-based design facilitation, illustrated on a continuum with the facilitator’s level of involvement on one axis and participation structure on the other. The facilitator’s role is multifaceted, and effective Movement-Modifier facilitation requires sensitivity, adaptability, and careful planning. The Movement-Modifiers should be seen as a tool to support the design process rather than the essence of it.

Generating Interior Design from Text: A New Diffusion Model-Based Method for Efficient Creative Design

Because interior design is subject to inefficiency, more creativity is imperative. Due to the development of artificial intelligence diffusion models, the utilization of text descriptions for the generation of creative designs has become a novel method for solving the aforementioned problem. Herein, we build a unique interior decoration style dataset. Thus, we solve the problem pertaining to the need for datasets, propose a new loss function that considers the decoration style, and retrain the diffusion model using this dataset. The trained model learns interior design knowledge and can generate an interior design through text. The proposed method replaces the designer’s drawing with computer-generated creative design, thereby enhancing the design efficiency and creative generation. Specifically, the proposed diffusion model can generate interior design images of specific decoration styles and spatial functions end to end from text descriptions, and the generated designs are easy to modify. This novel and creative design method can efficiently generate various interior designs, promote the generation of creative designs, and enhance the design and decision-making efficiency.

Context Connection: A Product Creative Design Method for Integrating Design Materials and Design Resources

ABSTRACT This study investigates the design method of integrating design resources and design materials with an explanation of the foundations of cultural psychology. It focuses on the integration of design resources and design materials in product creative design. This article outlines the design process of integrating design resources and design materials based on user centered design (UCD) and develops a design tool named “Context Connector (CC)” using cultural symbols (as design resources) and products empowered by machine learning (as design materials) as examples. Because cultural symbols can affect how people use and perceive things, researchers have been talking a lot lately about how to improve the user experience of machine learning-empowered products. Through the experiment of finding designers to use the design method to complete product creative design, it has been confirmed with the empirical evidence that this method can assist designers, to a certain extent, in fusing cultural symbols and machine learning empowered products more reasonably and innovatively in the design process, improving design efficiency and experience. Finally, this paper analyses the benefits and drawbacks of CC as well as the scope for future research and application of this design method.

Creative exploration: zero-waste fashion design practices with traditional Korean clothing

ABSTRACT The fashion industry is one of the sectors most responsible for environmental pollution and waste generation. Zero-waste design either minimises or prevents waste generation by efficient use of resources for sustainable growth with environmental responsibility. This paper reviews traditional clothing, focusing on pants, go (袴), from the Joseon Dynasty, an era that emphasised ‘oneness with nature’. It analyses their zero-waste design aspects and formative features and, in order to examine their eco-friendliness and aesthetic value applies these to three fashion designs. Sapok pants, pungcha pants and dan-sokgot were selected as design motifs because of their unique structures, creative construction methods and zero-waste aspects. Results demonstrate that the zero-waste patternmaking and composition methods significantly lowered the fabric waste rate, by 0.6–6%. In addition, new design silhouettes are presented by applying unique structural principles and recombining traditional patterns, and these offer highly effective and creative alternate zero-waste fashion design methods.
