Color Research Of Men's Apparel Based On Design Factors

This article is based on the apparel art to explore the problems of China fashion design, especially in the color design and its related factors by using interdisciplinary method of statistics, Kansei engineering, mathematics and computer science. This paper takes men's clothing as a breakpoint to construct a theoretical framework and the digital platform, it also achieved those research results through digital technology. The study can be divided into four parts:1. An overview research of the objectThis part of the study aims to explain the necessity and value of the title. The paper based on not only the main problems in the field of innovation of domestic apparel industry and apparel brand, but also significant economic benefits by color design and development potential of men's brand, the above parts can be taken as a combination of the study. The purpose of this paper shows a far-reaching practical, which is an effectively solution of over-reliance on the designer experience in the product development process that because of the complicated factors of color design. After collection of market research data and overview of the study analysis, the article summed up the research value of color, men's apparel as well as design factors, and sorted of the logic of research context. That part is not only clear the significance of where the highly practical value of this project, and also has an important role of the follow-up theoretical and applied analysis.2. Vertical study of color design factorsThe contents can be divided into two sections:theoretical study and practical analysis. The former carried vertical depth research for classification, category characteristics and the relationship of color design factors. Firstly, the paper combined ternary structure theory and the ternary doctrine to make the source of classification scientifically and systematically, as a result, it made up blank of existing literature. Moreover, the study summed up the principle of IDS, which is based on external associated of three types color design factors and aimed for guiding apparel color design practice in reason. Secondly, the paper used of AHP Analytical Hierarchy Process (The Analytic Hierarchy Process), that was classic way of management science to research the characteristics and interaction of internal relations of color design factors three types, and came to the maximum weight seven factors, which have a decisive role in further analysis. The part of practice analysis took the men's apparel as the point to analyze the specific performance and practice of the seven factors, among them, study achievements of style gamut analysis in the P.C.C.S of the Japan Color Research Institute and factors characteristics of style, played a key role in horizontal study of color design factors.3. Horizontal study of color design factorsThe article draws the conclusions of the seven factors weight, the characteristics of the style, and color gamut and a variety of factors. Based on that, this part included two sections:the analysis of fuzzy theory and Kansei engineering. The former used fuzzy theory such kind conventional method to analysis membership of various factors in style, then got eight men's style range of design factors; the latter according to the status and results of Kansei engineering-----semantics and color image space, which developed by Nippon Color and Design Research Institute to introduce to study of apparel color design factors, through an innovative way of contrast research by PCCS and NCD to establish a color image space for men's apparel. Those two parts built swap space of color, semantics, style and factors through clothing styles in the environmental factors, those results not only complete the clothing color of the vertical and horizontal cross-mode, but also lay the foundation for color design factors applied research.4. Application study of color design factorsThis part's contents are divided into two plates of targeted research and integration research: the former combined with the results of the men's color image space, analysis auxiliary clothing brand planning, brand color image system and optimize the brand color design process. Targeted research aimed at reduce the communication link between various departments of the brand, improve the efficiency of post-design work to assistant color design and keep the brand's style, as well as meet the color demands of the target consumer group by comprehensive analysis of the achievements in color design factors research. The integrated application took the view of assistant tool to develop apparel color design software based on design factors. Men's shirt was considered as material library of the software. The tool limited the user's operating range rational, but at the same time, it can maximize the user's creativity by orderly combination of modules and free design module. The application of those two sectors reflected cross-systemic of theory study and a high degree of integration of system theory and the comprehensive practice.Innovation of this paper:1. Vertical study of color design factors. The paper summarized apparel color design factors of environmental factors clothing factors and personality factors, which inspired by the ancient Chinese theory of three powers, and based on the integration of literature. Based on external associated of three types color design factors, it summarized the three state services of men's color design. The paper drew innovatively the AHP, which widely used in the field of management into men's apparel color design. By analyzing experts'advice suggestions of men's apparel color design factors and combines with the AHP, it is extracted the first7parameters.2. Horizontal study of color design factors. It introduced innovatively Munsell color area theory into men's apparel color design which is based mostly by perceptual experience. By analyzing the characteristics of such clothing graphic characteristics and measuring the area by AutoCAD, it solved the problem of empiricism and fanaticism in men's brand's color design, and provides feasible program for the men's garment. By using of similarities and differences between P.C.C.S color system and NCD image space to analyze rational application in-depth of color based on men's style. Confirmed men's eight basic types of style by representative colors of the typical brands in the P.C.C.S and used the common of two systems in terms of Hue&Tone system to determine the men's main style of semantic and color range by comparing and positioning.3. Application study of color design factors. The paper achieved the digital platform through vertical and horizontal cross-analysis results and the development logic of the environmental factors, individuality factors and dress factors. Those showed a win-win situation of theoretical results and application of methods.
