Research on Artistic Hat Design Combining Naturalistic and Eco-friendly Concept -focused on the recycled materials-

The purpose of this study is to use recycled materials as a design link to analyze the artistic design forms of hats that combine naturalistic and eco-friendly concepts, and provide a theoretical basis for hat design trends. The research methods are literature research, case analysis and work practice. It analyzes the relationship between naturalistic concepts and hat design, the impact of recycled materials on hat design in eco-friendly concepts, and analyzes the natural design concept of recycled materials. Using comparative methods to summarize the different design features of hat influenced by two different concepts in terms of material, color, and model. Combining the two types of hats in the design practice of works can break the unique design features of traditional design thinking. The research results of this study are obtained through the above analysis. Firstly, the combination of natural objects is utilized to obtain creative prototypes through observation of the natural world. Mushrooms and butterflies, peacocks and butterflies, flowers and butterflies, and growing flowers that can present natural changes are selected as design themes, which can break through the inherent design impression of natural themes and reinterpret new ideas for hat design. Secondly, the comprehensive expression of naturalistic and eco-friendly concepts. It transforms form and color by imitating the model of natural objects into concrete and abstract hat design features, and then utilizing the creative combination of recycled materials to surpass the singularity of existing hat materials, enhancing naturalistic concepts and eco-friendly design awareness. Thirdly, the artistic expression of hidden beauty. It depends on natural curves and covering facial design, so that presents an artistic visual expression. These results indicate that the fusion of naturalistic and eco-friendly design features can achieve artistic hat design effects, and then provides creative design space for the future trend of hat design.
