Fabric Grid's Application In Modern Graphic Design

Currently, modern graphic design in china is in a transition period from the purely imitation of the West to the cultural combination of West and China, and there have been some achievements. However, under the strong influence of western design idea, how to integrate the elements of traditional culture into modern graphic design is still a challenge.Fabric grid is a main decorative art form of civil fabrics. Its simple graphic visual language reflects unique folk culture. There are many commonalities between fabric grid's formal characteristics and modern design. It is the paper's objective and innovations that applying the design principles of fabric grid to modern graphic design and Integrating the elements of traditional culture into it.The paper combines case analysis and theoretical argumentation on the basis of defining the concept of fabric grid. In chapter one, the paper defined the concept of fabric grid and discussed the relevant theoretical background, providing a clear understanding of the basic concepts and research status of the topic. In chapter two, the paper introduced the development context of fabric grid, analysising and argumenting the social and cultural factors impacting the fabric grid's development in different periods. In chapter three, the paper deeply interpreted the formal characteristics of the fabric grid, from its symbol and composition characteristics, laying the theoretical foundation for the argumentation of formal characteristics's appliance to modern graphic design. In chapter four, the exposition center is the reference of fabric grid for modern graphic design, and its feasibility.Fabric grid has experienced a long development course. Its primitive is grid texture,which has gradually appeared the sense of form with the progress of weaving technology and the intervention of people's aesthetic consciousness, then become much complicated with the mature of cultural psychology. Fabric grid has rich symbolic symbolism and unique composition, humanoid, animals and other shape sustenanced people's vision of a better life, expressing simple design idea for the unity of form and information transmission. The Formal constitute expressioned a simple geometrization deformation in the limit of grid texture. The basic framework, needle even design principles of fabric grid not only can make inspiration for modern design idea, but also can expand to the graphic design's multi-dimensional performance,for example, emotion, space and transform and so on. The fabric grid's graphic form with linear and angle as basic form happens to hold the same view with western simple design idea,so is the good way to combine design mind of the East and West.
