Before selecting the corresponding vocabulary and applying a language, it is quite necessary to understand the basic structure of the language. How to define and understand the basic elements of the visual language and how to apply them are undoubtedly the core issue for the visual training. However, as a graphic designer, I am gradually conscious of the loss of my subjective insight and passion for focusing on graphic visual language itself. Since Bauhaus period, designers have never stopped observing and exploring the standard and system of the graphic design,I am agreed with it. However, I intend to discover better approaches to present the special visual effect which related more with my personality, uniqueness through self-exploration and studies."Two-dimension" seems already set the limit for the dimension in graphic design. However, with the maturity and extension of the technical skills, quite a few graphic designers are committed to conducting their multi-dimensional exploration beyond two dimensions in their works. Seeking for dimensions in the graphic visual language could provide an opportunity to focus our attention on the experiment of the graphic visual language in order to have reflections on the graphic visual language systematically and individualized exploration of the dimensions with experiments. The first chapter of the paper mainly specifies the definitions and operating principles of the visual language and the visual language in graphic designing. The second chapter focuses on the significance of the dimension exploration in the visual language in graphic designing and on the analysis on the current status of research. And the third chapter descriptively discusses the problems confronted during the exploration from the perspective of practice as well as the studies, tests and staged summaries targeting the problems. The entire paper will be the staged and open result with experiments as the tool based on the practice and exploration process. |
