Xing Dong Yang · The Design Journal · 2020
OVERVIEWThe fourth industrial revolution is at a critical period, and changes in information technology have brought about changes in communication methods and media. At present, Mainland China is leading in information technology and is the largest manufacturing economy in the world. Meanwhile, the emerging paradigm of Chinese information design is forming. This research adopts a mixed qualitative and quantitative research methodology and applies case analysis, theoretical deduction and content analysis. One of the objectives of this study is to decode the emerging paradigm of Chinese information design, the other one is to create a set of models to describe the design paradigm. In practice, the understanding of the emerging paradigm can clarify the new development direction of information design for practitioners. In theory, the design paradigm description models can provide researchers with a set of theoretical models for design paradigm research.
