碩士 === 中原大學 === 商業設計研究所 === 91 === Spiral,Translated into Chinese,Pronounced as “Wo Hsuan”,is a very mysterious design in natural field. There has been found in this study that “Wo” mainly appears in external state such as symmetry of spiral, Wo thread and radiation etc. “Hsuan” transmits the internal power, i.e. movement factor such as movement track, revolving power etc. Therefore, “Wo Hsuan” must be mutually composed of both external state and internal power. To visual psychology, external state of “Wo Hsuan” meets esthetic sense from totem existing in human’s deepest consciousness, and possesses eternal and long-lasting life property on symbolic meaning. Almost all people in the world today or in the past specially prefer this pattern. There are three conclusions finally made in this study as below： (1) It can be concluded into three parts of symbolic meaning in original art of “Wo Hsuan” design. The 1st part – “Tein Wo” belongs to natural celestial phenomena, a representative totem, for each nation that wants to express “Wo Hsuan” external state at the earliest time. Its symbolic meaning covers natural power, mythical legend etc. The 2nd part – “Ti Wo” are double combinations of animal and plant thread which symbolic meanings include reproduction, avoiding evils and exorcism etc. The 3rd part – “Jen Wo” is space of human’s thinking consciousness which symbolic meaning cover consciousness state and evolvement breeding etc. (2) On the related creative theory of “Wo Hsuan” symbolic meaning, as this pattern has been widely applied by human from those old days to today, we do not understand what is the secret of “Wo Hsuan” design. However, based on structure and demand of creative theory, this research is separately conducted by theory points of culture anthropology, mythology and phenomenology etc., and tried to re-interpret symbol and phenomena of “Wo Hsuan” design through contrast manner between the past and the present in order to make it as composition of graduation creation. (3) On application of visual movement, this research is found if “Wo Hsuan” has been developed to the best, two necessary factors – “external pattern performance” and “internal symbolic meaning” must be simultaneously considered. It could be understood that the performance of visual tension and imagination space by analyzing “Wo Hsuan” design is actually very strong. If better applying the “Wo Hsuan” mark to transmit design such as poster design, display design, photographic design and comic strip design etc., more powerful visual attention and memory may be generated. As a whole, visual language of “Wo Hsuan” is completely filled with much imagination space. In addition, because pattern design can make its symbolic meaning transmit to the observers more sufficiently, this research primarily focuses on the poster design as visual performance. We also hope to continue studying of the related territory of transmit design in visual application for “Wo Hsuan” as a reference of design practice.
