人類生活一刻也離不開地球,但地球環境卻不斷地遭受到人類的破壞,若不能及時意識到全球暖化的危機,人們的生存條件和生命延續將受到嚴峻的考驗。所以創作者期許能藉由視覺設計作品引起觀者對全球暖化的關注,並落實節能減碳的行動,共同打造美好的地球環境。本研究分析幽默手法的表現形式,並探討遊戲與神話的詼諧之處,做為設計創作的基礎,藉由遊戲與神話賦予人的熟悉感、親切感與活發有趣的特質,融合造成全球暖化的癥結點與預防改善的具體措施,來傳達嚴肅的全球暖化議題,期能塑造出新的視覺生命力。本創作以「全球暖化」為中心,探討「生態變遷」、「環境改變」、「挽救方法」與「應變措施」為主的四個相關議題,藉此發展為「危機∕遊戲」、「危機∕西洋神話」、「轉機∕遊戲」與「轉機∕中國神話」等四個系列作品之創作,詮釋南北極融化、動植物絕種、棲息地消逝、生物鏈失衡、空氣污染、脫髮嚴重、糧食缺乏、海水上升、節省資源、物盡其用、少搭電梯、資源回收、發展再生能源、吃素抵抗暖化、減少廢氣排放、攜帶環保用具等觀念。經由創作體驗得知,詼諧有趣的表現手法,常能吸引觀者的駐足閱讀、促進彼此間的分享討論,所以有關公共議題的視覺傳達設計形式,幽默表現手法是一個具有參考價值的途徑。
Mankind’s life and activities are related to the earth and man can not continue to live a quality life while abusing his habitat. This earth is consistently suffering from human beings’ damages, and if they do not become aware of the crisis of global warming this will make humans’ living conditions and posterity evolve into a serious challenge. Therefore, by creating a visual design, the creator expects to attract viewers’ attention to the issue of global warming, inspire them to practice lower carton actions, and reconstruct a wonderful environment. This research is to analyze the expression of humorous methods, exploring the delight between games and myths to be the foundation of this design creation. Conjoined by familiarity, harmony, and animation qualities of games and myths, and the fusion of the causes, the prevention concrete measure of global warming transmits serious global warming issue to viewers that can be expected to create a whole new visual vitality. Global warming is the center of four relevant issues of “Ecology Vicissitude", "The Change of Global Environment", "Methods of Saving the Environment" and "Protective Measures”. Brainstorming these issues into four series creations of “Crisis/Games”, “Crisis/Western Myths”, “Chinese Myths/Games” and “Chance /Chinese Myths” explores environmental problems such as, retreat of North and South Pole glaciers, species extinction, habitat reductions, imbalance of the food chain, air pollution, hair loss, food shortages, sea level rise, and interprets the solutions to alleviate global warming that includes the concepts of economy energy resources, taking advantage of everything’s life span, taking the elevator less, recycling resources, renewable energy production, vegetarianism, exhaust gas emission controls, carrying environmental- friendly products, etc. From the experience of designing creations, viewers can be attracted to appreciate these creations and also improve interaction among each other by interesting and funny expressions. Therefore, humorous expressions can be a valuable reference to designers when designing visual expressions about public issues.
