| The traditional cloud pattern which is a representation of national style plays a great important role in Chinese traditional decorative art. Its unique artistic shape, profound connotation and implication are source of the modern graphic design. Studying application of the cloud pattern from aspects of "shape" and "implication" is a complete assurance of its utilization in the modern graphic design.The research on application of the "shape" of the cloud pattern uses methods such as analyzing examples, induction, and deduction and so on. These methods are in order to show the characteristic and value of the cloud pattern's visual shape. On this foundation, this article researches the application of the cloud pattern from the diverting of the "shape" and the innovation of the utilization. This article not only elaborates feasibility and method of diverting the "shape" of the cloud pattern in modern design,but also emphasizes the innovation of it. Proving the constructive method and the form of expression in modern design are the right ways which the diverting of the cloud pattern should follow. This article investigates the ways and rules of the changes of the cloud pattern systematically and comprehensively.The research on the application of "implication" of the cloud pattern adopts some methods such as analysis, induction, abstract and reification and so on. Through these methods, this article studies the energy content and value of the cloud pattern from a deeper level. Based on this, this article researches the application of "implication" of the cloud pattern from two aspects on inheriting and developing of the "implication". This article not only elaborates feasibility and method of diverting the "implication" of the cloud pattern in modern design, but also sets the extension of it as a focal point. This article states the transformation and sublimation of "implication" of the cloud pattern which are influenced by the life style and the value orientation in the contemporary social and cultural backgrounds. The different directions and contents of the changes of "implication" of the cloud pattern are researched in this article systematically and comprehensively.The research on implication of "shape" and "implication" of the cloud pattern adopts induction and deduction methods investigating the relationship between "shape" and "implication" and the expression ways. This article also" elaborates the value and significance of this kind of relationship and expression way to the modern graphic design. At last, this article dwells on application ways of "shape" and "implication" of the cloud pattern.This article researches applications of the cloud pattern in the modern graphic design systematically and comprehensively. This research contains the application of "shape", "implication" and the inosculation of them. Not only does this article pay attention to inheritance of the cloud pattern in modern graphic design, it follows development and innovation of the cloud pattern closely also. This article is a kind of understanding and assurance on application and regulation staying in development of the traditional cloud pattern in the modern graphic design. The conclusions of this article could guide the design of the cloud pattern directly and effectively, and also provide learning source and reference to the application of other traditional patterns in the modern graphic design. |
