Study On The Design Of Cartoon-forming Products For Adults

With the development of technology and economy, the standard of peoples'substance life has been improved; meanwhile people suffer more pressures for the faster life rhythm. So modern people thirst for more psychic satisfaction than ever, and the intention of consumption has been changed, and the"Entertainment Economy Days"is near. The alteration of the society calls for new demands in industrial design, the product which is emotional, individuated or with new culture meanings will be popular. Meanwhile, the cartoon industry is developed so fast that current people's ideology is permeated by cartoon which has become some kind peculiar modern culture. In the influence of cartoon culture, cartoon was used as new design elements in products design that results in cartoon-forming product. Cartoon-forming products meet the needs of people's emotion and create new experience for people. Nowadays, the cartoon-forming products are not only designed for children but also adults. These entire phenomenons indicate the design and development of cartoon-forming products is feasible and necessary. However, the studies about the design of cartoon-forming products are limited, especially in the case which are designed for adults. So this paper has discussed the problems of the cartoon-forming products designed for adults for some valuable results.Firstly the paper has studied on cartoon-forming design and cartoon forming products. To apprehend the cartoon-forming design better, this paper has discussed on some background knowledge, such as the development of cartoon industry, the great success of cartoon business, and the characters of cartoon culture, and has analyzed how the products are permeated by cartoon with several samples. Then based on related theories, this paper has analyzed the design value of cartoon-forming products and the development of cartoon-forming products in detail with certain market researches.Secondly this paper has analyzed the adults'consumption of cartoon-forming products detailedly, mainly includes the different consumptive conception depended on age and sex, the general reasons of the adults'consumption of cartoon-forming products and other factors that affect such behaviors. And then the adults'consumptive tendency of cartoon-forming products has been primarily explored.Finally, the study focused on how to design cartoon-forming products for adults. Based on the analyses of several successful cartoon-forming design cases, some design principles and techniques of cartoon-forming products for adults have been concluded, and then a design project has been promoted.
