프랙탈 기하학의 원리를 활용한 텍스타일 디자인

Background We live in nature, and that is what has been constantly inspiring us with new designs. In the world of different natural phenomenons, fractal works with regular rules of complexity and goes through an endless series of simple structures which, in the end, comes up with some indefinable and strange structures. Such random repeatability of fractal is considered to be associated with textile design in which regular patterns would be naturally connected with each other. Methods Regarding research methods, the study inquired into the fractal theory and extracted fundamental principles of fractal geometry. The study then investigated how fractal has been influential in diverse fields. Based on findings of the research, the study uses a computer graphic program to design textile patterns on women’s apparel through simulation. Result The composition principles of fractal include self-similarity, randomness, non-linearity and irregularity and of the principles, self-similarity aims to help forms of parts create a whole. After all, self-similarity is found to be similar to textile pattern design that would repeat with certain rules. Add to that, the formation principles such as overlay, repetition and transformation of scaling made relations of entities even more effective and visually brilliant. Such designs were put into a digital textile print system, and they produced diverse fabrics in a short period. Conclusion The textile pattern designs created out of the fractal principles ended up presenting a completely new genre which is different from existing textile pattern designs. Regardless of types of images, when the new designs were applied the fractal principles to the certain pattern principles the result turned out to be quick production of varied goods that satisfy different personalities.
