獨特的時代背景,豐富了台灣的歷史脈絡與文化發展,也造就風格多元且具特色的設計環境,依藝術社會學之論述,藝術作品與社會具有密切的互動關係,社會因素足以影響藝術作品的表現風格與內涵,因此本研究擬以光復後至1950年間,台灣出版的文藝雜誌封面為研究對象,以瞭解封面設計表現與社會環境之關連。首先透過文獻分析與田野調查法蒐集、歸納相關資料,分析封面的表現形式與內容;其次為探討當時台灣的時代背景、文學發展、出版印刷、美術與設計發展等概況;最後則綜合比對前兩項分析結果,以歸納出外在環境因素對封面設計的影響,以及相互的作用。研究結果如下: 一、封面設計表現形式 本研究分別從封面的構成元素,包括(一) 圖像要素、(二)文字要素、(三)色彩要素、(四)版型要素等,分析其表現特徵。 二、封面設計表現內容 光復後至1950年代,主要的表現內容包括「愛國思想與回歸祖國的歌頌」、「以人物或事件為主題」、「地方景觀與建設」、「社會寫實的描繪」、「多元文化的呈現」、「與雜誌名稱或內容主題呼應的設計」、「特殊紀念日的圖像使用」。 本研究嘗試以外在環境的角度進行檢測,探求封面設計與外在環境的關連,發現政治環境的特殊性,為影響當時設計風格最主要的關鍵因素,尤其在「圖像」要素的表現上最為明顯。種種因素使得此時期封面設計呈現多元的特徵,乃是政治環境不穩定下的反映。
The unusual period not only enriches Taiwan’s history and culture development, but also brings up a diversely unique design environment. According to art sociology that each artwork has close interaction with its’ society, social elements could influence the performance and content of an artwork.
