Abstract
Basic shape is one of the most important components of the learning
design process. Using Western design thinking to understand shape, color
and composition layout and attempting to reinterpret the application of
traditional calligraphy from a design point of view—whether it is the
expression of form or the meaning of content—are both important
aspects of design thinking. The writing patterns of traditional
calligraphy and the design creation of modern experiments may have
different biases. If the artistic value of “the brush and ink of the
time” is compared to the science and technology of innovation as the
main appeal, the expressiveness of the traditional writing mode is
obviously difficult to achieve. Using science and technology as an
option for design creation is a difficult way to proceed; however,
technology, ideas and thinking can still be in sync with the cultural
issues of an entire era. This is also the test of the times to which
contemporary creations are subjected. There are infinite possibilities
for development, and it is worthwhile to explore these possibilities
together with artistic aspirants. On the other hand, if we follow the
well-beaten path of the status quo, the creativity of traditional
calligraphic art will wither, it will deviate from the larger
environment of the era in which it operates, and it will inevitably be
neglected and pushed out by other art categories. The design and
creation process uses the traditional calligraphy characters and drums
as the theme, assisted by digital tools in the creation, and finally
transforms the traditional calligraphy visual form into an expression of
the art of science and technology.
