Analysis and Research on Merging Handcraft into Graphic Design

Abstract:

All kinds of information are instantly available and get accepted and approved by the masses under the rapid development of science and technology in nowadays. With the advent of computers and various design softwares, designers spend a lot of time finishing their designs by computers, traditional manual design in the filed of graphic design has almost been superseded by computer design and handcraft and other various approaches have fallen out of favor in the current design field. People also agreed that design's main purpose is to express a thought, provide an idea or create a form, but people tend to neglect handmade craft’s active role of expressing individuation, originality and taste in the course of design and creation.
