A Comprehensive Study Of Humidifiers' Design Based On Values And Visual Psychological Theory

Taking visual psychological theory and value theory as its basis, this thesis makes investigation and exploration on the designing method of household modifiers.Through an exposition to the fundamental concepts and theories, this thesis reaches a preliminary comprehension of visual psychological theory and value theory, which provides a theoretical foundation to carry out this study.After an analysis of target consumers and types of humidifiers is finished, carried out are an investigation on designs and follow-up interviews to the target consumers. This investigation probes into many aspects, such as the basic information and values of target consumers, the content of visual and psychological effects, and the functions and characteristics of the humidifiers. According to the above, the relationship between visual and psychological effects and the users is worked out, and with further consideration of the characteristics of target consumers' values, the visual and psychological requirements on humidifiers are studied and analyzed. And then this thesis, based on the results of investigation and analysis, constructs a model on users' requirement, where the basic information, the values and the visual and psychological effects of target consumers do not exist in isolation, but are integrated as a whole. This thesis, on one hand, through an argumentation of theoretical data and an analysis of actual products, discusses the factors of visual psychology and values that may affect target consumers; on the other hand, through a specific case of designing, tests the designing approach obtained in the previous part. From those two aspects, it is proved that the designing method based on visual psychological theory and value theory meets the requirements of the target consumers. Therefore a conclusion could be drawn that the above designing for industrial products is reasonable, feasible and scientific.To sum up, this thesis is expected to advocate a new thinking way for product designing and alter the old self-oriented pattern. In this way, the quality and taste of products will be effectively improved, and thereby the target consumers will hold a higher degree of satisfaction with the products.
