The Color Of The Corn Harvester Research Revelation

Color is a name card attached to the appearance of the agricultural machinery. On the basis of the achievements in"Research on Self-Propelled Corn Combines for Stalks and Ears"(Project No.: 2001BA504B06), one of the national key scientific research projects during the tenth"Five-Year Period", this paper makes an analysis of features of corn combines and summarizes the general rule for color design of corn combines. And the paper turns to be an effective guide for practice of color design of corn combines and provides a theoretical basis for enhancement of color design of corn combines.This paper focuses on the orientation and implication of color design of corn combines. And the former can be divided into the following: 1) requirements for functions of color design, 2) aesthetic requirements, 3) rural aesthetics, 4) environmental features of various corn planting regions in China, 5) color design identified with corporate cultures, and 6) color design practice of corn combines. With the above-mentioned analysis, the paper proposes the principles for color design of corn combines: color design should meet the functions of products and highlight features of the agricultural machinery; and it should also conform to aesthetic principles, taking into consideration corporate images and customers'preferences.As for the current situation and development of color design of corn combines, relevant suggestions are put forward in the ending part as follows: state-level support for theoretical research on color design should be strengthened to improve designers'performance; the thinking pattern of the management should be shifted to taking the brand strategy and the industrial design should be imported into products research and development as early as possible.
