| The mobile phone industry has been unprecedentedly motivated by the market since we enter the 21th century, which is an era centering on information technology. However, the industry of mobile phone comes across many problems when facing the complicated market. The designing of the appearance of mobile phone, which is one of the most important parts, especially needs our attention.As"HE"conception in Chinese traditional culture has a long history, and with the deepening development of building a harmonious society, this conception once more becomes the focus of our society. This paper focuses on the discussion about mobile phone design with the combination of backgrounds that the existing problems in the building of a harmonious society need to be solved urgently for the state and society. On one hand, the result of this paper can help people to better understand the"Harmony"culture; on the other hand, it will help to solve the problems existing in the designing of the appearance of mobile phones and also to push the development of building a harmonious society.In the current social context, the harmonious concept of the design is presented, and the connotation of"harmony"is dug through a deep level, that is the thought of"coordinated"and"harmonious but different". Moreover, the harmonious concept of mobile phone appearance design is analyzed by starting from the harmonious requirement of the correlativity of"people-product-environment"system, with which to promote the course of harmonious society and help mobile phone industry to get out of dilemma from design aspect. By digging"HE"concept, one of the essence of Chinese traditional culture, and using"harmony", one the connotations of"HE", the core idea of this paper is discussed for the appeal to treasure and promote Chinese traditional culture.This paper makes a comprehensive reference to lots of literature related to etymology and connotation of"HE". On this basis, the meaning of"HE"is first defined and then the inner meaning of harmonious concept is introduced to provide the groundwork for further demonstration of the harmonious concept of mobile phone appearance design.Firstly, the paper explores the"harmony"of designing appearance of mobile phones from the point of"people-mobile phone-product". On this ground, the "harmonious but different"idea is discussed further more. On this basis, it is then expounded that to meet the needs of consumers and market diversification, differentiation and personalization'Secondly, combined theoretic analysis and research with practice, it is demonstrated that mobile phone appearance design should base on the harmonious requirements of the correlativity of"people-product-environment"system, and the harmonious concept of mobile phone appearance design should be used in the following designing works.Finally, by amply analysis and demonstration of the harmonious concept of mobile phone appearance design, a series of design thinking and methods is put forth. Then the research result of this paper is advanced. |
