An Example with Indigenous Rice Promotion Posters
Abstract
Images of “realism” are embedded with realistic, tangible, and clear visual features. In the natural world, one of the principles of survival, mimicry, can explain it all. For instance, leaf butterflies have evolved to carry the color of yellow leaves for escape menace of predators and survival. The look they mimic helps them successfully avoid and survive crises and also adds another fascinating visual element to the natural world. Their fantastic work of “realistic illusion” has become the best example of realism.
The style of realism has been frequently applied in design practice, such as in the forms of advertisements, posters, illustrations, and displays. The diversified and rich uses of this style are ubiquitous in daily life. This study selected indigenous rice promotion posters as the theme and applied Vector Gradient Mesh Tool in computer illustration software to represent the style of realism on posters. The common images of the rice culture, such as a scarecrow, rice seedlings in water, strings of rice, and sprouting rice, were selected to be the main themes of the posters, so that the designed graphics could be easier to understand and interpret. Through design of posters, this research expected that the rice industry could be promoted and sustained, and there could be greater room for development of the rice culture.
The research directions and results were summarized as follows:
1. Through literature review, painting styles and schools of realism, composition and expression of colors, arrangement of themes and objects, and integration of unique styles in realism poster design were explored.
2. Application of representation of realism to visual designs was studied. Composition of elements, use of color, and representation techniques in existing cases were analyzed.
3. Convenient features of digital illustration software were utilized to investigate the representation technique of vector gradient mesh.
4. The overall results showed that there was room for further promotion of traditional industries, and promotion could be achieved by deepening viewers' impression. Thus, the designs of realism could be more highly accepted.
