The Revitalization Of Cyanotype In Cultural Creativity Design

Cyanotype is one of the traditional hand-made printings,in contrast to film processing and digital technique.In an age when digital photography and mass duplication prevail,the craftsmanship and uniqueness make cyanotype even more valuable.In recent years,there has been a revival of cyanotype in photography,and it's even considered as a way to confront digital technology abuse.Tracing back to its origin,cyanotype has always been in classical photographer's favor due to its plainness,unique pattern and originality of handcrafted art.Cyanotype is actually full of possibility and vitality.In the past,cyanotype is associated almost exclusively with photography and artistic creation.However,the author believes cyanotype,instead of phases out contemporary society,brews significant innovation and research potentials in today's cultural creativity design,and will play an important role in this new context.This essay attempts to go beyond traditional use of cyanotype,focuses on its application on graph,substance and space,and possible practices on cultural creativity design,suggesting cyanotype can also be applied in multiple fields,so as to create designs with more cultural value.The result of this study provides the idea of injecting a bit more life into cyanotype by applying to cultural creativity design,offers new explorations on multidimensional experiments,and implies a systematic theory construction.
