Designer Perception and Design Thinking in Industrial Ceramic Product Development

This paper discusses the methods used to conduct designer perception and design thinking in industrial ceramic product development. The designers themselves struggle to clarify how they make the association that immediately them to be the outcome and why those decisions are rational because the thinking behind design is not completely comprehended. This research attempt to identify product design development in critical design situations, empirically test the design thinking process towards industrial ceramic design processes and establish an innovative technique for capturing the ceramic designer’s thinking process. Exploiting a mix of aesthetics, ethics, and knowledge, design thinking is a contemplative longing to maneuver a new schematic in design development.

Adapting Visual Representation of ‘Harimau Malaya’ through Line Drawing Artwork for Widebody Aircraft Livery Design

An aircraft livery design comprises comprehensive insignia that include colour, visual, and typographic identifiers. Stagecoaches, railroad trains, and steamships all appeared, and the term "livery" came to refer to the interior design of these vehicles. Parts of airline liveries have become increasingly intertwined with ground transportation, advertising, exclusive airport furnishings, airline promotional materials, and aircrew uniforms since the 1950s. These features began to appear on airline websites in the 1990s. This collection of idealistic livery designs is influenced by many elements set in a specific aesthetic; typographic designers precisely specify it as a logotype. This research aims to describe how an artwork painting of a Harimau Malaya subject is styled and adapted as a visual representation for an aircraft livery design.

Designing Ceramic Tureen Surface Pattern through the Influence of Malaysian Batik

Ceramic Tureen refers to the ‘serving ware' that are widely used in Malaysian community. On the other hand, the surface decoration increases aesthetic value of the ‘serving ware' especially in promoting the local contexts and meaning. However, this local context design in regard to tureen surface design is being over shadowed by European style and identity design pattern. This study is to associate the tureen with local context design of batik character by introducing batik as an idea to pattern design. Batik pattern design will be applied on the ceramic tureen ‘serving ware'. Keywords: Surface Pattern, Batik Pattern, Ceramic Tureen eISSN: 2398-4287© 2022. The Authors.

Fabricating Ceramic Scaffolding Nest through the addition of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) in Ceramic Stoneware Body

Edible bird nest (EBN) is based from swiftlet's saliva and it is widely consumed as a health food due to its high beneficial effects to human health and has been considered to be one of the most precious food items by the Chinese for thousands of years. The role of a scaffolding nest is to guide the young swiftlet to build a typical form of the edible bird nest that will increase its commercial values. However, the price of edible bird nests decreased due to various shapes and sizes of EBN in the market. This study will design standard scaffolding nests followed by MS 2334:2011 and introduce the Calcium Carbonate as the main material and associate it with the stoneware body as the binder to create a natural environment to swiftlets.

Industrial Ceramic Form Profile Control through High Degree Vitrification Firing Process

In ceramic, firing is the most crucial stage of the whole production process. It's influencing the successfulness of ceramic profile. The successful ceramic profile refers to the delicacy of that particular shape which is the quality of being beautiful and delicate in appearance. However, the mechanical behaviour of clay body during the sintering process affecting the designed profile. Therefore, this study associates the use of Setter as a potential mechanism to systematically controlling ceramic profile; thus, reducing warpage to its designed form during firing.
