Design Materials And Creativity Of Shoes

In this era, with the continuous development of the social economy and the improvement of people's living standard, the new standards of eating, wearing, living and doing are also gradually rising.

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a foot". As a man's clothing, people's demand for shoes has changed greatly.

New and fashionable shoes highlight their position in the market, and the shoes products of creative design are also highly valued.

The design of shoes 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.

Design material and creativity

Design expression requires spirituality, and spirituality comes from the feeling of material.

Only by feeling and understanding different materials can designers 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 2005, the China International Clothing and accessories fair, a shoe in the creative shoes of the Hongkong exhibition area, is entitled "flower brocade" sandals, with small pieces of flowers on the shoes, showing 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 requires the designer to further understand the intrinsic meaning of the material instead of reproducing the appearance of the material. It is a creative design deeply pformed in the exploration.

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 the material is a metaphor effect in the work, such as showing the image of shoes and birds, using buckles as the eyes of birds in the front of a pair of shoes, decorating uppers with birds' feathers, instead of turning the whole body of shoes 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 pparent 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.
