Abstract

This study leverages visual design processes to construct a conceptual representation of domestic spaces. Drawing upon personal growth experiences, this work aims to foster reflection on family culture and elicit a fresh perspective on representations of family and home. The design manifests as a 3D installation piece, integrating geometric and organic forms in a novel synthesis of visual communication design. Mixed technique methodologies underscore the artwork’s versatility, capturing the complexity and breadth of home as a concept. The creation process incorporated data from environmental conditions, relevant academic literature, and visual art influences. Analysis centered on the clarity of the theme, the symbolic form of the work, and the creative techniques employed, revealing an in-depth exploration of graphic design, interface design, and illustration principles. This study highlights housing as an elemental component of human life, serving as the nexus for sustenance, shelter, and travel. The artwork—an assembly of acrylic panels shaped into simple, uncluttered forms and decorated with paper-cut patterns—translates this concept into a tangible visual reality. It reflects the influential role of visual arts and graphic design in societal narratives. Light within the artwork, symbolizing warmth, creates a space imbued with love, joy, music, and laughter. The piece thus encapsulates a shared understanding of home, underlining the capacity of visual design to create universally resonant yet individually unique experiences. In conclusion, this work underscores the educational and societal significance of visual design, encouraging further exploration into home-themed art and its capacity to bolster societal stability and unity. It advances understanding of the aesthetics of home - its shape, color, and the interplay between Chinese paper-cut patterns and the home concept. This exploration reinforces the need for continued investigation into the potential of visual design to articulate and shape fundamental human spaces.
