Identifying the Meaning of Colors as Design Information for Design Tools: A Systematic Literature Review
Full text linkThe meaning of colors has been widely researched in various disciplines. In design, understanding the contextual meaning of color influences design decisions and, hence, is important design information. This research aimed to compile information about the meaning of colors that can be used as design information in design tools so that users can choose the right color palette. This research used a qualitative approach by conducting a contextual document review of reference books about color. Data collection was carried out by identifying relevant data regarding the meaning of colors. The data collected included color association, positive-negative meanings, and cultural links. Although the information derived from these three sources varied in terms of information themes, we could observe some consistent meanings shared by the sources. This research output can be implemented as design information in design tools such as web-based color palette generation applications, graphic design tools and others. It is hoped that the results of this research can provide comprehensive guidance in choosing an appropriate color palette based on the meaning of the colors contained
Nature Inspired Fashion: The Design of Patterned Fabrics Inspired by the Ylang-Ylang (Cananga odorata) Flower with the Application of Fragrance Microencapsulation using Biomimicry
No full textInnovation in fragrance textiles reflects growing awareness of health, well-being, and aesthetic value. Nature has long served as a source of inspiration for designers and researchers, offering guidance for product innovation. Scents and fragrances are known to contribute positively to human well-being, and advances in textile technology have enabled the application of fragrance finishes through microencapsulation techniques. While visual appearance and fabric durability remain primary considerations for consumers, floral patterns—among the oldest and most favored textile design elements—continue to play an important role. This research employs mixed qualitative and quantitative methods to develop specialized textile products in the form of flower-patterned fabrics inspired by traditional Indonesian flora, specifically ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata). The study applies a biomimicry approach by using the ylang-ylang flower as both a visual and olfactory reference in textile design. Pattern development was combined with fragrance incorporation using a microencapsulation technique with PEG 6000 as the encapsulating agent. The resulting textile features a ylang-ylang floral pattern and releases a distinctive scent resembling the natural flower in bloom. This approach demonstrates the potential of integrating visual and sensory elements in textile design and supports future development of fragrance textile products to enhance consumer engagement

Factual Analysis of Factors Influencing Consumer Cognitive Thinking and Automobile Designing using Fuzzy-AHP
Full text linkConsumer cognitive and emotional responses significantly impact consumers’ affinity for both tangible and intangible products. Recent research underscores the heightened influence of consumer emotional and cognitive perceptions in product design, surpassing reliance on designers’ instincts or experiences. This case study delved into the analysis of automobiles, using cars as focal product. While visual elements like curve lines, grill design, and color predominantly shape consumer perspectives, non-visual factors such as reliability, quality, and ergonomics play a pivotal role in purchasing decisions. Our investigation, involving six industrial experts and over 130 participants, explored non-visual factors affecting consumers’ cognitive perceptions during car purchasing. Through a two-phase experimental approach, we developed a framework to understand the disparities in ranking assigned by consumers and designers to these non-visual factors, revealing perception gaps. Utilizing the rank value methodology, the Pareto principle, and Fuzzy-AHP analysis, we identified mileage/fuel efficiency, safety features, and reliability as dominant factors influencing consumer perceptions. Designers, on the other hand, prioritize safety features, reliability, and quality/warranty. Our findings emphasize the strategic significance for automobile companies to enhance their success rates by prioritizing these key factors, ultimately elevating brand value, profile, and overall financial prosperity
Japanese and Western Influences on the Local Animation Character Design Identity in Malaysia
Full text linkIdentity is regulated by culture and can be delivered meaningfully in numerous expressions, among which animated designs. In tandem with technological evolution, animation today shows fusions of various cultures. Two main influences in the Malaysian animation industry are Japan and Western countries due to their status as pioneers in animation. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the influence of Malaysian, Japanese and Western animated character designs on the local university students’ production of their character designs. This study was conducted based on semiotic theory, followed by a research method that employed a content analysis approach using the SPSS software. Through the analysis of cross-distribution and Chi-Square, it was found that the criteria of physique, national characteristics, and colors in the students’ work showed similar characteristics to both local and foreign animations. Consequently, further studies should be conducted to comprehend why the students are inspired by Japanese and Western styles. These influences also raise the question of whether these cross-cultural forms lead to a new identity of Malaysian animation or only a trend
Sebuah Penelitian Tentang Pan-Sensualisme Sebagai Bentuk Silang Budaya: Karya Seni Oleh Jim Supangkat; Ken Dedes (1975)
No full textThis study examined the use of the term ‘Pan-Sensualism’ in the discourse on contemporary Indonesian new art and how this manifested itself in artworks created at the beginning of the Indonesian New Order era (1966-1998). Jim Supangkat was one of the artists and initiators in forming the artist group Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru Indonesia (Indonesian New Art Movement), which then organized the first Seni Rupa Baru 75 exhibition in 1975. Jim Supangkat presented six installation works with different narratives, but Ken Dedes was the only one that presented the dialectic of traditional and modern culture. The Prajnaparamita, or Ken Dedes statue is presented with a drawing of the body of a woman wearing jeans with the buttons open. In looking at the formal, social-historical, cultural, feministic, and other elements in the work of Ken Dedes (1975-1996), we used the iconographic research method. This method helps to see several aspects of Supangkat’s visual works related to the aesthetic paradigm of Pan-Sensualism and the intersection of two cultural elements, i.e., high and low art, which may be distinguished based on social class appreciation.Artikel ini membahas mengenai penggunaan istilah Pan-Sensualisme dalam khasanah seni kontemporer Indonesia dan bagaimana istilah tersebut termanifestasikan dalam karya seni yang dibuat pada awal era Orde Baru di Indonesia (1966-1998). Jim Supangkat merupakan salah satu seniman dan inisiator dalam pembentukan kelompok Gerakan Seni Rupa Baru Indonesia pada tahun 1974. Kemudian kelompok ini membuat pameran berjudul Seni Rupa Baru pada tahun 1975 dengan latar belakang kejadian "Desember Hitam". Pada pameran ini, Jim Supangkat menghadirkan enam karya seni instalasi dengan narasi yang berbeda-beda, namun karya "Ken Dedes" adalah satu-satunya karya yang merepresentasikan dialektika budaya modern dan budaya tradisional. Patung Prajnaparamitha atau Ken Dedes dihadirkan dengan sebuah objek yang menyerupai bentuk tubuh seorang wanita yang mengenakan celana jeans dengan kancing yang digambarkan terbuka. Dalam melihat unsur formal, sejarah sosial, budaya, feminisme, dan unsur lain dalam karya “Ken Dedes” (1975-1996), kita akan menggunakan metode penelitian ikonografi. Kajian mengenai karya “Ken Dedes” (1975-1996) belum pernah dilakukan sebelumnya. Oleh karena itu, metode ini membantu melihat beberapa aspek karya visual “Ken Dedes” terkait dengan paradigma estetika Pan-Sensualisme dan persinggungan dua unsur budaya
