A Design Model of Traditional Cultural Elements Applied in Products

摘要

With Miao’s beautiful and primitive visual arts and crafts, Miao cultures offer great potential for enhancing design value and becoming recognized in the global market. Evidence shows very high prospects for Miao’s local cultures to become crucial cultural elements in future design applications. The purpose of this paper is to explore the meaning of cultural objects from Miao cultures and to extract their cultural features. The paper attempts to illustrate how, by enhancing the original meaning and images of these cultural features and by taking advantage of new production technologies, they can be transformed into modern products that meet the needs of the contemporary consumer market.
