니트 기법의 색채 표현에 관한 연구 - 카드펀칭 기법의 텍스타일 작품 제작을 중심으로 -

Abstract

Hi-tech knitting machines of our age has enabled textile designers to apply more various colors and patterns to their works. In this paper, I summarize the process and products of my experiment to make knit textiles for fashion and interior designers, by combining hi-tech machines with traditional knitting techniques. Starting from survey on preceding studies and related literatures, I tried to test various effects of color combinations applicable to knit design, making sample designs from draft designs. In the whole process, I tested whether effective aesthetic expression could be possible by card punching hand knitting. The process of design are as follows. 1) photo images, drawings, fiber structures were transformed into basic motifs 2) color planning 2) making draft designs for card punching 4) making cards for hand knitting 5) yarn colors mixing 5) making knitting process. With the final product of this research as well as draft designs available from applying 2D and 3D graphic simulation, I could suggest a tentative design process to enhance aesthetic appeals of knit textile design.
