Furthermore, from the perspective of cultural inheritance and development, design and research related to characters is indispensable. In such circumstances, the character, as a basic carrier of cultural transmission and communication, is playing an increasingly important role. Collaboration and teamwork have become the inevitable trend of development. Resource sharing has become one of the themes of social development. In the process that the carrier of text changes from visible to invisible, it is worthwhile for us to endeavor to retain the personal, emotional and aesthetic value of characters.Īlthough the transmission ways of culture around the world are still diverse today, development of the technology of communication and transportation has brought substantive changes in the scale and speed of culture transmission. Joy brought by one simple handwriting letter is now nowhere to be found. While technology revolution brings us convenience in information communication, it also, to some extent, eliminates the personality traits in communication and results in fast-food style affective interaction. Fundamental changes have taken place in information communication. The emergence of various social networks, including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and QQ, influenced most people’s social networking patterns. People’s reading ways have changed significantly that electronic reading now dominates. Mobile internet entered into our daily life at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Then, the parametric design of Chinese characters can mark the information dissemination with a personal imprint in the context of modern technology and culture. Parametric Design System and the relevant application prototype is established, which is based on the rule of form and structure of Chinese characters, and the analysis of application interface characteristics. A database of common characters, stored in the cloud and developed in a Crowdfunding way, is designed for providing design elements. In this paper, for providing a new rational and personalized design method for Chinese characters, 3 kinds of parameters as shape parameters, structure parameters and effect parameters of Chinese characters are defined.
The rapid development of technology and the changes in reading ways have promoted the research related to Chinese characters, while the new patterns of information acquisition, dissemination and communication based on modern internet technology have posed requirements for individualized design of Chinese characters.
