Design Of The Section: Problem Consciousness And Data Integration

We discuss graphic design under the framework of social equalization and disciplinary boundaries, because the problems from reality provide the appropriate "time window" for critical thinking about the graphic design and reflection on this discipline. The huge problem field and the possibility of the solving problems, which result from both the globalization and the turning of the media field, make a higher demand on the graphic designer.For one thing, they are required to think laterally, gain the new information, grasp the method and find the clear as well as implied the "problem-solving rules" by using independent perspective and the spirit of rational judgment through interdisciplinary cooperation. For another, they should deal with problem by means of vertical thinking along with date processing. So that the way of the treating problems sensorial and experientially will be highlighted. Furthermore, this chance makes the transition to the scientific research on the basis of field research and promotes knowledge transfer within the discipline. In addition, designers need to concern not only the current state but also the potential trend of the research object. Then they should build dynamic analysis model. So the research findings can be in persistent competition. According to the grasp of the overall situation, designers are able to make rational decisions, to predict something, to achieve knowledge growth and also to academic progress at the same time.This paper attempts to discuss the construction of problem awareness of the graphic design adopting the methods in the field of philosophy of science from the perspective of critical thinking. In the second place, the author expounds briefly the probable transition ways of data integration as graphic design from the practice to the interdisciplinary knowledge management and research by data analysis methods in sociology and MIT case analyze. Meanwhile, the author points out the meaning of this transition to the expanding the boundary of graphic design. Finally the revelation of problem awareness and data integration to the future concept of graphic design will be elaborated preliminary.
