Explore The Creative Design Expression Of Shoes

　　 shoes The design is similar to other design categories, and at the same time, other design methods should be used in the design of footwear products, so as to achieve the design take-off.

The design of shoes has its own uniqueness. First of all, it is a wearable thing. It is a shoe formed on the foot of a human being. Shoes have a fixed form. This form has not changed in essence for thousands of years. Secondly, the design of shoes is the use of different materials "packaging" human feet outside the foot shape. In the "packaging" process, it is necessary to design, use materials and manufacture technology to become shoes. This kind of shoemaking is a process of conventional processing and production. On this basis, creative design can achieve the effect of giving full play.

First, design materials and creativity.

Design expression requires spirituality, and spirituality comes from the feeling of material. Designer Only by feeling and understanding different materials can we create unique design works.

(1) design materials

What is material? Design material comes from everything in life and nature. Form is roughly divided into two categories: one is visible material, such as natural mountains, flowers, animals, and other natural objects. There are also man-made objects, such as architecture, machinery, living appliances, etc. second kinds of material without specific form, such as clouds, wind, rain, poetry, abstract paintings, etc., are also part of the inspiration of shoes design.

Choosing material is an important part of creative design of shoes. Drawing inspiration from material can open up a new world for the design of shoes. Using material design is not to change the appearance or copy the material phenomenon. Material is the root of designer's spiritual origin. Only good creative design can make the work flourish.

(two) creative design of figurative thinking

The design of concrete thinking is to reproduce the true appearance of material more intuitively, naturally reflecting the connection between certain material and shoes, and creating a unique design atmosphere for shoes. Concrete thinking design does not have to resemble the form of material. It can adopt some local or large body shape to express the design characteristics. In ancient China, Jin Dynasty used very fine gold to weave into flower basket shaped leather shoes. In the book of "Zhi Lin, Yin Yi, see only a compilation," records of "Queen Tang Wende's remains are made of Dan Yu, and the leaves of gold and gold are cut into clouds. First two beads. " The shoes of the Tang Dynasty were decorated with ornaments such as cloud heads, Phoenix heads and tiger heads on the head of shoes. These shoes are made by means of representational techniques. It can be seen that shoes in ancient China are both practical and enjoyable to the wearer.

In modern times, the design of shoes is more colorful, and the shoes under the feet become fashionable vane. The overall shape of V shoes and shoes in 1930s is more representative of the style of shoe design at that time. The fish shaped shoes are the representatives of them. The front part of the shoe is designed to be the fish head and the fish tail is in the middle of the shoe. A reasonable combination of foot clothes and fish was an eye-catching landscape in the age of dancing fever.

In China International clothing Clothes & Accessories At the fair, there is a sandal in the creative shoes of Hongkong exhibition area, which is decorated with small broken flowers on shoes, which shows the prosperity of shoe and flower integration. The designer combines the flowers of nature with the shoes of specific objects, giving the vitality of shoes, showing the design effect of concrete thinking.

(three) abstract thinking design

Abstract creative design needs Designer More in-depth understanding of the intrinsic meaning of material, rather than reproduce the appearance of material, it is a profound transformation in the exploration of creative design.

The material in life, whether for a moment or for a long time, will make people think about each other. Designers often extract materials and give them specific abstract meanings according to different feelings of materials, so that this extension is the theme of design works.

In the design of abstract thinking, more techniques such as dismantling, reorganizing, and mutation are used to design. The design of shoes emphasizes that materials are metaphors in the work, such as showing the image of shoes and birds, using buckles as the eyes of birds and decorating uppers with birds' feathers, instead of putting them in the front of a pair of shoes. shoes The whole turned into birds. The bird's effect is expressed by the local decorative ornament and the feather's special material. Feathers are the symbols of birds. This abstract generalization does not have the specific bird image design, but also shows the interest of design. It also shows the ingenuity of designers using materials. Similarly, the expression of abstract design is also reflected in the shoe exhibition in Hongkong. A pair of sandals with the theme of "new green" are made of green leather. The upper is a few transparent plastic wires. It gives people the impression that spring is full of vigor and vitality. Abstract design expression is the representation of design connotation, and the design spirit is contained in shoe works.

Two, design expression

As a single category of clothing, shoes are more market-oriented and have their own design art forms. For example, the footwear Grand Prix (including practical shoes, Creative shoes The competition highlights the theme. Designers should consider more about the requirements of the Grand Prix, so that the needs of the event can be accurately completed.

(1) clear themes

The confirmation of the theme and material is the premise of the creative design of shoes. On this basis, the design and performance of shoes and the making of shoes are a whole. It must be extended in the design of a system.

In the stage of design renderings, designers are required to display the design sketch from the design sketch to the style, color, material and other specific aspects of the design, carefully and carefully, and lay the foundation for making shoes. For example, the theme of flower design is to select material at the beginning of the design, that is, what type of flower should be used to design the prototype of shoes. Next is the concrete performance or the abstract performance, reconsiders the shoe shape and the flower shape relations as well as chooses what material to make the shoes and so on.

(two) expression form

There are various forms of design expression. Figurative and abstract thinking is a way of design conception. It is the expression of the way of thinking at the beginning of design. The form of design expression is the means in practical operation, such as design variation, reorganization, dismantling, overlapping and so on.

The design of shoes can not be separated from these methods. The key is how designers can use them in design practice and how to express their works more accurately.

The variation design method is commonly seen in various design works, taking shoe design as an example. The German sports brand Puma shoes design uses the logo graphics variation to transform the running leopard into a fast moving line. It enhances the visual impact of the sports shoes on both sides of the shoes, and makes the brand phenomenon more prominent in the variant design form.
