브랜드개발에서 나타난 학습자 중심의 디자인 사고 연구

This study is a follow-up study of "Research on Design Thinking in Brand Design Development Process" and aims to explore the content of learner-centered design thinking, reflecting the problems of the previous research. The study conducted retrospective reporting methods among protocol analysis methods on the content of design thinking developed in brand design development process for third graders majoring in visual design. As a result, there were cases in which logical thinking was developed through the organization of data on multiple occasions in the design process, but it developed into subjective content based on personal taste and experience. Unlike when the contents of the two-background and case study were reflected in the sketch and the intended direction, only certain contents were reflected in the sketch. In the expression of 3 design, the group focused on the design process and the flow of logical evidence was more direct in the design of the brand symbol, but there was also the result expressed metaphorically by subjective individual ability. 4 Visually stimulated by sketches and CG results already made in the design sketch process and in the CG process, the characteristics of expression such as in the process of externalization in the information processing process have changed the sketch or the contents of CG work. Although this study is a limited area of brand design development among visual design areas, we observed the flow of design thinking in the entire process of production from the data survey and found that feedback and modification of self-directed design is being made in learner-oriented thinking in each process.

Experiment on Cognitive Load of Gesture Interaction Based on Semiotics

Objective: To explore the amount of information contained in gesture symbols and its relationship with cognitive load, and to provide theoretical guidance for gesture interaction design based on semiotics. Methods: Firstly, a user-defined method was combined with oral analysis to collect gestures and establish a corresponding semantic knowledge base. Based on the knowledge base, the icon algebra theory is used to redesign the gesture symbols. Then through experiments combined with the NASA-TLX scale to measure the user’s cognitive load, and through data analysis to explore the relationship between the amount of information contained in the gesture symbol and it. Conclusion: The amount of information contained in gesture symbols has a significant correlation with the user’s cognitive load and response time. As the amount of gesture symbol information increases, the user’s cognitive load and response time also increase accordingly. Based on this, a regression equation of user cognitive load and information amount of gesture symbols is established, which provides theoretical support for the design of gesture symbols based on semiotics.

From Kings to Kids: Refashioning Akan Adinkra Symbols as ‘African’ Motifs in a Nineteenth-Century British Cloth Design

In the nineteenth century, British textile companies began making factory-printed cloth with adinkra motifs for African consumers. These symbolic designs were previously reserved for hand-stamped cloths among Akans of present-day Ghana. Such textiles illustrate the complexities of re-presenting history and shaping cultural knowledge through cloth and colonial exchanges. This article focuses on the design and circulation of one specific British textile design with adinkra symbols made during the 1890s to 1930s, the earliest recorded evidence I have found of adinkra in factory-printed cloths. This textile pattern reveals how merchants, designers and printers historically transformed adinkra symbols from Akan society to become global markers of Africa.

A tourist map of Xi’an: combining historical city characteristics with art

ABSTRACT The design of tourist maps of historical cities sometimes fails to balance functionality and artistry or does not fully reflect cities’ cultural connotations. In this paper, we select Xi'an, China, as a study case and design a tourist map through a spatial narrative to reflect its artistic characteristics in the layout design, color design and symbol design. A few operational suggestions are proposed for improving functionality and artistry in tourist mapping, including variable scales, topological optimization, hand-painted symbols and colors extracted from the architecture of the city.

Symbol Condensation and Design of Cultural & Creative Products in Regional Cultural Context

The attractiveness of cultural & creative products on spreading and “recurring” regional culture is the key to the shaping of urban culture. In this paper, starting from the differences of regional cultural contexts, we discussed the explicit culture and implied culture in cultural symbols and put forward new ideas on regional cultural context reconstruction and symbol condensation and conversion. The symbolic design of cultural & creative products in the cultural context of Spring Festival education in Xi’an was taken as an example here, and the method proposed herein was further clarified through cultural context reconstruction of “Yanta Praying” activity and symbolic design of educational & cultural products.

The General and Particular in the Perceptions of the Human Life Cycle in the Culture of the Middle Volga Region Peoples in the 19th Century

The research subject of the article is the ideas that the peoples of the Middle Volga region had about the human life cycle in the 19th century - processes of birth, initiation, marriage and death. The aim of the article is to identify the general (typical) and particular (unique) in these perceptions as categories that unite and at the same time separate the inhabitants of the region. The general expresses the universal features inherent in all ethnic cultures of the Middle Volga region. The particular describe the local properties that act as markers of the identity of each ethnic group. The boundaries between the general and the particular in the Middle Volga region have a symbolic designation, since the region had for several centuries a complex synthesis of the interactions between Western, Russian and Eastern traditions. The article's research methods are based on the principle of historicism. The author uses structural and typological analysis to determine the general and particular in the Volga peoples' ideas about the life cycle, as well as the comparative-historical, logical and retrospective methods. The novelty of this study lies in the culturological comprehension of their ideas about the human life cycle in the regional culture, formed under the influence of paganism, Christianity and Islam. An important role in preserving the ethno-confessional values of the inhabitants of the Middle Volga region was played by the peasant community. The author concludes that the spread of Christianity and Islam in the region under the pressure of state power and as a result of intercultural interaction had made it possible to develop the universal requirements for human living. In this case, the particular was preserved at the level of individual rites. The source materials used in the article can be useful for scholars, culturologists, teachers, students and specialists developing programs in the field of preserving the cultural heritage of the region.

Usage of the associativity principle in the cartographic symbols’ design

Cartographic symbols evoke certain psychological associations regarding phenomena, objects and the interrelation between them in the imagination of the cartographic models’ user. Different associations depend on the person’s memory, as it is a general complex of cognitive characteristics and higher psychological functions that relate to the accumulation, storage and reproduction of knowledge and skills. In the formation of a generalized image of cartographic models in users of different levels of development and consciousness, there are different levels of application of the principle of associativity in the design of cartographic symbols. This is due to such features as age groups of users, the disclosure of thematic areas of cartographic models, and so on. The purpose of this article lies in grounding the application of the associativity principle, which is one of the main principles of cartographic symbols’ design, taking into account diff erences in the levels of users’ comprehension and consciousness, outlining topic-oriented maps, etc. Main material. When designing cartographic symbols, a number of diff erent principles have to be followed. One of them is the principle of associativity. When applying it, there have to be considered the associations of the cartographic object and their corresponding graphic depiction on the cartographic product. Such technique is called the principle of associations and stereotypes or the principle of associativity. The notion of association is widely used in psychology and philosophy and means psychological connections, i.e. the connections between the phenomena when one of them causes simultaneous appearance of others. The age, education, etc., are the factors that can infl uence the level of associativity. The article outlines the ways of the application the associativity principle in the development and design of a cartographic symbol. It also examines various cartographic methods and techniques that are used to achieve the associativity of symbols. Conclusions. The associativity principle in the cartographic symbols’ design is an important element of the qualitative creating and using of cartographic models. The study of the associativity principle is relevant and vital scientifi c branch which can greatly improve and perfect the cartographic models.

On symbolic control design of nonlinear systems with dynamic regular language specifications

Abstract Formal methods are becoming rather popular in the research community working on hybrid systems because they provide a systematic approach to design complex and heterogeneous systems of interest in e.g. industrial world. In this paper we consider a control problem where the plant is a nonlinear system, the controller is a finite state machine, easily implementable in digital devices, and the specification is a regular language and, it is dynamic. The motivation for considering dynamic specifications comes from some relevant and concrete applications where environment, external to the plant, may change in time and therefore designed controllers need to timely reconfigure to properly deal with new scenario. We propose an approach to reduce online computations for controller reconfiguration which exhibits gain in terms of time computational complexity. The results we present are based on the use of symbolic models and on regular language theory.

ЖЕНЩИНЫ И ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОЕ ТВОРЧЕСТВО: ГЕНДЕРНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ

The article disputes traditional views on the status of women in the visual arts. Methodologically, the text is based on the theories of social constructivism, social and symbolic capital, modern history of fine art and gender approach. The author considers art as a social institution, and an artistic work as something with aesthetic and economic value. This allows us to deconstruct the myth of women's lack of artistic abilities convincingly. Institutionally, this mythology was supported by the refusal of women to receive professional education in fine arts, and ideologically justified by the role of the Muse, allegedly inspiring men to true creativity. This subject-object dichotomy set the structure of power relations between the Artist and his repressed «object of veneration», while ignoring the various relationships of women with fine arts or evaluating their creativity as marginal. This concept was formed in the era of mass production of artistic works, when the cost of work was determined not so much by its aesthetic qualities, but by many other factors. And one of them is the traditional hierarchy of men and women in culture, which leads to underestimation of women's artistic creativity in economic terms and alienation of women from the active creative process. Attempts of women to present a different view of yourself and your place in the world (a woman is existentially different in western culture) come across symbolic designation of the feminine as secondary and marginal. Even today, when women рфму professional education and participate in exhibitions, their positions and status remains more vulnerable than that of male-artists. This is due to existing gender stereotypes and institutional barriers. Professional recognition of woman is often achieved at the cost of a symbolic rejection of self-representation as a female artist and identification with masculine models of creativity. Overcoming this situation is impossible without the artistic community's acceptance of the principles of freedom of expression and gender equality.

Enhanced Multi-Level Multi-Pulse Modulation for MIMO Visible Light Communication

Any realistic indoor multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) system, besides providing reliable high rate transmission, should also support flicker-free, dimming capable, and uniform illumination. In this article, we propose a multi-level multi-pulse modulation for a MIMO VLC system to provide a high data rate with flicker-free uniform illumination. A low complexity detector and a searching algorithm to design the symbol set for transmission are also discussed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed detector can achieve a remarkable reduction in computational complexity without any performance degradation as compared with the conventional maximum likelihood detector. Moreover, the proposed symbols design algorithm can help to reduce the symbol error rate (SER), especially in high correlation MIMO VLC channels.

십자가 심볼 디자인을 위한 데이터 모델 설계 및 연관규칙 분석

십자가는 그리스도교의 대표적인 상징으로 널리 쓰이고 있으며, 인류 구원을 위한 그리스도의 수난과 죽음에 대한 승리, 속죄, 희생과 사랑 등을 상징적으로 표현하고 있다. 이처럼 십자가는 상징성과 조형성을 지니면서 여러 형태로 표현되어져 왔지만 십자가에 관한 내부 데이터는 부족한 실정이다. 다양한 의미와 형태를 갖는 십자가에 관한 정제되고 정의된 데이터가 존재한다면 십자가의 유형 및 특성을 파악 가능할 뿐만 아니라 시대적 패턴 변화를 이해할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 십자가를 상징화시켜 표현한 십자가 심볼의 유형을 체계화하여 저장할 수 있는 데이터 모델을 설계하였으며, Apriori 알고리즘을 활용하여 십자가 심볼의 속성을 분석하였다. 이는 십자가 디자인의 특성에 따른 분석이 가능하며 십자가 심볼 디자인의 방향성을 제시함으로써 보다 의미 있고 상징적인 십자가 심볼 제작에 도움이 되리라 기대한다.

Historical cartography of Muscovy: symbols and emblems

The article is devoted to the historical cartography of Moscow kingdom of the 16- 17th centuries and symbolic emblematic designation of Muscovy and adjacent territories. Four types of heraldic emblems were revealed. Some of them have various own versions. The rider was used by cartographers only in the 16th century. In the earliest version, the rider had a bow. The double-headed eagle was used since 1610. The original emblem of the beginning of the 16th century was an image of a lion and a dragon. The open gate was used on some maps since the second half of the 16th century until the end of the 17th century. The emblem is connected with ancient ideas of the northern peoples who were locked up by Alexander the Great with the help of the gates of the northern peoples identified with the peoples of Gog and Magog in the Christian tradition.

The Design of the Symbol and Its Aesthetic Value in the Fabrics of the Babylonian Fashion

The design can be considered as a non-linguistic communication which can affect the recipient, so it is necessary for those who design the fabrics aesthetically to have the experience, proficiency and sufficient knowledge of this process. Therefore, the researcher has found that the problem of the research consists in the lack of the use of symbols in the Babylonian fashion and limited it to the shrubs and vertical and horizontal lines, and some simple forms such as circles and others. In light of our pride in the cultural heritage in the designs of Iraqi fabrics and in view of the cultural invasion to our society, on one hand, and a flood of foreign goods bearing western concepts in our market, on the other hand. This research came as a contribution to the study of the aesthetic values of the design of symbols on the Babylonian fashion. The designer of fabrics, who must possess the aesthetic taste, can employ the designs to make them attractive, and contribute to the development of national industry and raise the level of quality and quantitative production by the benefit of the results. The objective of the research is to identify the aesthetic values of the design of the symbol in the Babylonian fashion. The study is based on the study of symbols used in the Babylonian fashion in old Babylonian era, which is the period between 1728-1600 BC. This is what is stated in the first section. The second section includes two sub-sections (aesthetic and design of the Babylonian fashion) and (Symbols of Babylonian fashion). In the third section, the researcher depends on the experts and specialists in the field of art and research methods taking a descriptive / analytical approach to develop the items of the technical sides form according to their opinions as they agree on the items of the questionnaire and analyze the selected samples from the culture of our ancient Iraqi civilization.

Symbolic control design of nonlinear systems with outputs

Formal methods have been recently used as the basis of a systematic framework to address control design of continuous or hybrid systems with specifications expressed in a logic form. However, results available in the literature assume full information of the state, or of its quantization. This information may not be available in relevant applications. In this paper, we consider the more realistic scenario where the controller cannot access the state of the plant but can only access a quantized measurement of its outputs where nonidealities of the sensing devices can be modeled. We focus on a control problem where the plant is described by a possibly unstable continuous-time nonlinear control system, the controller is dynamic, digital and quantized, and takes as input a (quantized) measurement of the output of the plant, and the specification is expressed in terms of regular languages. The solution to the control problem is based on formal methods. A finite-state system, also called symbolic model approximating the plant is first derived and then used to find the solution to the control problem. An illustrative example is provided and the symbolic control of a car-like robot is presented.

Conformable Holographic Photonic Ink Sensors Based on Adhesive Tapes for Strain Measurements.

Buildings, bridges, and aircrafts are frequently exposed to fluctuation loads, which could start with a fine crack that instantly leads to unpredictable structure failures. The stationary strain sensors can be utilized, but they are costly and only detect limited deformation forms and sizes. Here, we fabricated photonic strain sensors on adhesive tapes, which can provide real-time monitoring of irregular surfaces. Holographic interference patterning was used to produce nonlinear curved nanostructures of one dimensional (1D) (900 nm × 880 nm) and two dimensional (2D) from a black dye film on a robust uniform adhesive layer and heat resistance tape. The patterned structure of the black dye was stable in broad pH environments. Diffracted light from the curved nanostructure detected the signal during structural damage, a shift or material tear of 5 με at less than 1.3 N cm-2. Additionally, the 2D nanostructure detected a surface change from x or y axis. Tilting the 1D structure within a range of 0.3° to 14.2° provided visible wavelength changes under broadband light to reveal early deflection signs. The curved nanopatterns could be also used for transferable holographic symbol design. Photonic nanopatterns on an adhesive tape could be used as a rapid response, conformable, lightweight, and low-cost dynamic strain sensor.
