Taking home textiles as the fulcrum through creativity and graphic design, integrating brand building, brand development and academic research into the competition, the creative design concept in northern China will be revitalized and more talents will be retained.

This year's entries have gone further

In this process of change, the growth of the contestants and in-depth thinking of the works have also brought some help, from another perspective to promote the competition Miao Dengyu believes that "Mingyuan Cup" design competition has two key words: design and creativity.

Design provides a good platform for people to change their life style. Through the design, through the understanding of life, the integration of traditional cultural industry and the world's advanced fashion concept has played a good role in teaching, industry docking, content development and system research. At the same time, the competition platform provides a creative way to better lead our life. In this process, we deeply explore the cultural elements and lifestyle changes, and show us more future prospects from the aspects of raw material application and process innovation.

Ji Xiaofeng, vice president and Secretary General of China Textile and clothing education association, said that the positioning style of the entries this year is more practical and targeted, and the participants are more flexible in tool making and means mastering. However, at the same time, the knowledge, creativity and field of vision of the entries need to be widened. Design needs to be applied to various industries. I hope that students can use this platform to show themselves, communicate and participate more, and implement the paper-based teaching and learning through competition. The integration of production and education is the general trend of education at present. We hope that enterprises can participate more in the process of talent cultivation, and teachers and students of colleges and universities will go into enterprises more, so that students can participate in the production design process of enterprises more, and strive to speed up the process of talent education. Ji Xiaofeng encouraged the competition to continue and attract more students to participate in the competition.

Jia Jingsheng, a professor at the Academy of fine arts of Tsinghua University, said that while the number of entries in this year's competition has improved, the quality has also taken a leap. Some of the works are professional works, and there are many interdisciplinary works. The judges are satisfied with the shape, composition, color and creativity. It is a very gratifying phenomenon to see the vigor of young people and the future of design in this competition. For colleges and universities, the competition has built a very good platform. From the entry point of view, the works of dyeing and finishing and textile design are more standardized, which are in line with the actual production and application of products; traditional elements are more and more strongly reflected in the works, and more traditional and national essence are excavated; more cross-border professional works have shown their own professional highlights. At the same time, the participation of national art colleges and universities also further improved the scale and influence of the competition. Jia Jingsheng suggested that we should continue to strengthen the organization and publicity of the event, deepen cross-border integration, and introduce more international participants.

Li Xiaolu, a professor at Zhongyuan Institute of technology, said that the quality, quantity and creativity of this year's entries have improved compared with the first time. Many works reflect the idea of local intangible cultural heritage, and the secondary design of folk customs, paper cutting, cloth tiger and other elements has a very good understanding of the cultural spirit of the country, which is impressive. However, at the same time, the design methods of the entries have been improved with the development of science and technology. Many works are completed through software design, resulting in the homogenization of the performance styles and methods of the entries. This requires that we can grasp good creativity and better understand the relationship between traditional culture and fashion, and the next test will be the expression and inheritance of Chinese traditional culture by design.
