中國經濟力的崛起,經濟力已穿透了國與國的界線,亞洲城市與城市間的互動更加密切,台北、上海、北京、東京、首爾、香港、新加坡等大城市面臨全球城市文化與建築創意競爭,每個城市都急需要找到屬於自己的定位。台中是台灣僅次於台北市和高雄市的第三大城市,台中市亦因人文薈萃,而有「文化城」的美譽,在這波亞洲城市競逐的舞台,台中市將以文化創意的思惟找到聚焦點。 綜觀從台中市當代軌跡到新文化的未來願景,共可分為七大意象,如:生活意象、歷史意象、文化意象、建築意象、景觀意象、自然意象、風俗意象等,本創作主題以上列意象為表現題材,在內容的歸類可分為四大類:一、台中的願景與展望。二、台中的生活與人文。三、台中的自然與生態。四、台中特產與特色。將七大意象的屬性與四大方向作為創作的架構與切入點。 平面設計的領域中,海報設計是文化表現力的最高表現,也是視覺效果最強烈的平面媒體,此一系列海報創作希望透過平面海報創意方式,將台中的城市意象及文化創意轉化為經濟產業、文化藝術並讓台中擁有新面孔、提高台中城市能見度與自信心、提升市民的參與感與國際觀,並且透過視覺傳達的傳播方式,將台中的文化力向外拓展!最後將此創作研究之經驗與成果撰寫成論述,供後進創作者研究參考。
