감성디자인 측면으로 본 레트로디자인의 특성에 관한 연구

This study aims to understand retro design and identify the characteristics and meanings related to emotional design. For this purpose, the definition of Retro and its relationship with emotional design were examined through literature research, and Retro Design was classified into two types, Sustainable Retro and Reinterpretation Retro. Through the analysis of the classification of retro design, We structurally organized the two classifications of retro design by comparing them with the three stages of emotional design, and based on the cases that appear according to the structure, we organized the features of retro design into three types of emotions: formal, which is based on vision, meaningful, which is based on behavior, and value, which is based on meaning, and identified the meaning of each. We hope that this study will help researchers who want to identify new perspectives of retro design as a basic research.

A Study on the Digital Makeup Design Using Retro Characteristics

As a new post-COVID-19 trend, non-contact digital technologies have been applied to various fields. This study attempted to create digital makeup styles based on retro design characteristics according to the new trends in the digital culture, using Adobe Photoshop CC2020, a tablet PC, and a stylus pen after scanning model photos. The retro design characteristics were categorized into retro, romantic, ethnic, and Kitsch aspects, and the results found the following: In the retro aspect, retro makeup styles from the 1990s were reproduced by recalling memories. In the romantic style, elegant and feminine romanticism was expressed. From an ethnic perspective, ethnic makeup styles were created with liberal and passionate colors mixing indigenous and oriental images. In terms of Kitsch, makeup styles were created entertainingly through the free expression of inner emotions, using anti-aesthetic and playful painting techniques. The above results confirmed the characteristics and importance of retro design. This study was able to maximize the effects of works by taking advantage of retro styles characteristics. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate identical makeup using data on an actual model. Considering the current trends, digital content is expected to spread around the globe. Therefore, the suggestion of creative design by makeup artists would further broaden makeup-related fields. It is anticipated that this study would be a starting point for expanding creative and unique designs and the styling sectors.

Redesign and Retro Design as Methods of Creating Works of Modern Art and Design

The article examines the trend, widespread in modern art and design, to draw inspiration from preceding styles and directions that have remained in one form or another as historical memory and as artifacts existing in the same cultural and information space. The design culture reached its highest level in the field of prototype design during the last phase of modernism in the middle of the 20th century. The postmodern era has broken this tradition. The rejection of modernism as an outdated artistic and creative approach and the search for new ways and methods of design were reflected in the alternative areas of design of the second half of the 1960s, such as radical design and anti-design, which later resulted in redesign and banal design. Rejecting the achievements of modernism with its cult of aesthetics and functionality, and relying on self-expression, designers of the new generation have abandoned attempts to form and develop universal models with a high degree of subordination to aesthetic norms and values, but nevertheless turned to modernism and earlier styles and eras as sources of inspiration. Therefore, it is no accident that a characteristic feature of the design of the turn of the 20th—21st centuries is the endless self-repetition, while redesign and retro design can be considered the key methods of modern design and creation of artworks. In the near future, this situation may, probably, lead to the fact that art and culture will no longer produce original products and ideas. In this regard, the attractiveness, especially for the younger generation, of forms, genres, and techniques that have existed for decades is a cause for concern. Appropriation, reference, and recursion have become typological features of design. Giving opposing opinions on this issue, this article suggests to reflect on the question: should the constant reversion of culture to its past and the related substitution of the novelty of genuine innovation be considered as a positive or negative phenomenon?.

Exploring retro marketing with sport marketing professionals

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to expand our understanding of retro marketing in sport through the perspective of sport marketers. Design/methodology/approach Fourteen sport marketers involved in their team’s marketing and utilized retro participated in topical interviews. Interviews were transcribed and open coded to find themes around how retro marketing is utilized and why the marketers think it may be effective. Findings This study discovered prominent themes explaining how retro marketing is implemented (changing marks and jerseys, celebrating anniversaries, milestones and past players and retro nights) and why it may be effective (nostalgia, retro design appeal and connection to the team’s lived history). Originality/value Despite the coverage of retro marketing in popular press, little is understood in the academic field. This current study should expand our understanding of retro marketing in sport and be effective in aiding future scholars who investigate retro marketing in sport.

Implementation of Retro-Futurism Style in Architectural Building Design for 3D Animation

When we heard Retro design, people will think about the fashion, music, poster, style and trend of the 1940s to1980s. The trend retro-futurism, however, is entirely different. It is a trend that was created by writers, artists and film directors in the past and is closely related to science fiction. This research concentrates on investigating the characteristics of retro-futurism and how it can be used to incorporate its features into building design for 3D animation. An exploratory method was used to analyse the architectural design of the past. The gathered information could give some insights and understanding of what retro-futurism is and the reason behind why the architectural design in the previous era was created that way. The process and challenges of implementing retro-futurism visual style are also discussed. As the result of the collected data, developing a design with the aesthetic of retro-futurism become more accessible and well-planned.Keyword: Animation, Retro-futurism, 3D modelling, Art movement, Art period, Exploratory method

Vintage Design Furniture in Albania, a New Retro Design Paradigm in the Post-Communist Era

Abstract The dynamics of the Albanian market in lieu of the multifaceted transformations following the collapse of the communist regime and moving towards the accession processes in the European Union as well as the demographics of the Albanian society as a whole, deeply impact the ways in which furniture products are designed, development and produced. This paper draws from my doctoral study which explored the transformation of furniture products from communism to post-communism. The doctoral study confirmed that: the impact of moving from mass production in a centralized economy to free mass customization in market economy has not radically transformed the fundamental properties of furniture but has affected the design, development, delivery and materiality of products. In this light, this paper will zoom into the furniture designs during post communism in Albania by exploring two principle paradigms vintage and retro. First this paper argues that furniture design and production in the centralized economy, are introduced within the vintage paradigm in post-communist. The data collecting through observation demonstrate a high level of interest for the retro design in a free market economy. As the result the paper suggest the local actors, businesses and academia to use and persist nostalgia and retro design in furniture and their component.

Bobby's Got a Brand-New Car by Zidrou

Reviewed by: Bobby's Got a Brand-New Car by Zidrou Elizabeth Bush Zidrou Bobby's Got a Brand-New Car; tr. from the French by Vanessa Miéville; illus. by Sébastien Chebret. Words & Pictures, 2017 32p ISBN 978-1-91027-748-5 $17.95 R 3-6 yrs Today is the day: little Bobby is off to the car dealership to find his dream wheels. Treated with the utmost courtesy by the salesman, Bobby selects a blue convertible. As the salesman notes, it will be excellent for driving on a sunny day. As Bobby notes, it is large and beautiful and goes "'Vroom! for real.'" Completing the transaction with his magic card, "the one that pays for everything," Bobby is now king of the road, capturing the admiration of onlookers, magnanimously picking up his parents from work, and joyriding at high speed until "Dad feels a bit unwell in the back." Bobby secures his car in the garage for the night and falls asleep dreaming of his next big acquisition—quite possibly a jet. The twofold charm of this slender outing lies in the translucent layers of sleek, retro design elements and in the deadpan narration that allows listeners to decide whether Bobby is working through a fantasy or whether he's really living the life deluxe. It's subtly but clearly argued in the details that Bobby desires more than just a shiny car of his own—he also wants the power and respect that come from wielding a credit card (the salesman even looks away discreetly as Bobby keys in his PIN) and demoting his parents to shotgun and back seats. That's enough to make any kid holler "Vroom! for real." [End Page 98] Copyright © 2017 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois

Value creation and knowledge development in tourism experience encounters

It has been argued that service encounters between front-line employees and users support the development of knowledge about users' needs. However, the potential for this often remains unused, not least in tourism. This article argues that if tourism service encounters are changed into ‘experience encounters’ by integrating them into the tourism experience to which they are related, this will create added experiential value for tourists and increase the creation of knowledge about users. This is illustrated in an innovation field experiment in a retro design boutique hotel in which service encounters were developed into experience encounters. The experiment illustrates the potential that experience encounters have to create knowledge and value, but also suggests some barriers that need to be overcome.

팝아트를 활용한 레트로디자인 연구

본 연구는 팝아트를 활용한 레트로디자인 작업 시 어떻게 컨셉을 표현할 수 있을까를 이론적 고찰과 사례로 조사하고 작품제작에 응용할 수 있도록 제안하는 것을 목표로 진행하였다. 사례조사 결과 대중적인 이미지를 반영한 컨셉과 대중의 영웅을 표현한 컨셉에서는 팝아트의 특징을 단순하게 재현하였고, 정치적 삶에 드러난 상처를 표현한 컨셉은 조사된 사례가 없었다. 디자인의 각 영역에 대한 사례의 가장 큰 특징은 팝아트의 이념보다는 팝아트의 표현양식에 주로 치중한 점을 알 수 있었다. 원색을 사용하여 밝고, 경쾌한 분위기로 표현하거나, 반복적인 표현, 컴바인과 콜라주 기법, 실크스크린, 만화, 과장된 오브제로 표현하는 것 등이 다양하게 재현되었다. 그러나 팝아트를 활용한 레트로디자인은 팝아트의 단순한 재현이 아니라 팝아트의 이념과 조형적 재해석이 디자이너의 창의성과 만나 현대적으로 표현되어야 한다. 따라서 글로벌화 되어 있는 미디어나 이미지의 홍수 시대에 대중의 일상에 대한 탐색, 대중의 여가나 오락 및 환상의 결합을 활용하여 컨셉을 설정하고 팝아트의 표현양식을 적용하는 것이 필요하다. This study is considered how retro design concepts that are used pop art can be expressed through overview of theories and cases, and suggested applying to retro design. As a result, we found first, concepts reflecting popular image, second, popular hero concepts simply represented pop art's feature. Third, there were no cases that are expressing the wounds made by political life. The most of cases expressed retro design with pop art representation techniques rather than reflecting of pop art's ideology or spirit. Pop art's retro design should be expressed as a modern style not only with reproduction of pop art, but also with designer's creativity and pop art's ideology and reinterpretation of formative meaning. Thus, it needs to set a concept by exploring of modern globalized mass media or daily life of people. Also, it should applying people's entertainment, spare time and fantasy to bright cheerful mood of pop art to express each area of design.
