Socio-Technical System as Factors and Influences in Form Design Development

Since digitalisation in the cyber-physical system has taken over design development, researchers attempt to improve the approach to new product development including brand recognition. This research attempt to determine the design strategy based on syntactic design meaning in analysing the visual through design formulation, design treatment and design standard inline socio-technical system. The concept of digitalisation design scenario, the methodology was developed by observational study, laboratory study and interview to analyse designer integrates with the strategy of design analysis. The design analysis was approachable to determine the design representation and potentially generalised the characteristic of product design and consumers' psychological preferences toward product forms.

Positioning Ceramic Design Practices into Gallery-Based Creative Industries

Cognizant of the nature and need of a creative industries market. In ceramic, the diversity can be seen in the types of production and the scale of manufacture - from 'one-offs' to industrial manufacture. The scope and nature of arts incubators encompass the business-related knowledge, skills, and orientation needed by artists. The established methodologies for practice-based ceramic design research have led to the development of a realistic approach within this work which is both holistic and emergent. As result, a link between a practical philosophy of 'craft' practice and new approaches to the design highlighted a perception of the validity of 'craft' as a contemporary skill.

Composition of Various Percentages of Terracotta Clay as Colourant Glaze

Terracotta is valuable for its mineral content, which produces pigments for coloring ceramic bodies and glazes. Unlike commercial colors, terracotta's natural minerals make it unique. This study explores the potential use of local terracotta clay in transparent glaze formulations. Methods like clay powder percentages, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence tests, electron scanning, and microscope analysis (SEM) are used to examine the clay elements' morphology and structure. The addition of terracotta clay powder in proportions (20-50%) rendered the glaze translucent. Samples were applied on porcelain and fired at gloss temperatures (1200°C). The result colors were glossy, smooth, and creamy, with no defects. Keywords: Terracotta, colorant, glaze, percentag

Case Study of Ceramic Firing Profile for Terracotta-Based Glaze

Terracotta clay is a natural resource that has the potential as a raw material in the ceramic field. This study investigates the effects of color glaze using terracotta clay powder as an alternative substance for ceramic colorants in glaze formulation. Terracotta clay powder is proportionately added to glaze formulations to determine the potential for color added to the glaze at temperatures ranging from 1140 °C to 1200 °C. The content in terracotta clay is bounded with potash feldspar, silica, zinc oxide, and calcium carbonate. Results show the apparent color of the surface on the ceramic glaze samples with different effects. Keywords: Terracota; firing profile; glaze eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors.
