The most direct understanding of bionics is to apply various biological forms, appearances and colors in nature to design through direct imitation and rearrangement. A deeper understanding is to understand the characteristics of organisms, including their internal structure and living forms, and a deeper understanding will also consider the feelings and even emotions of organisms. The earliest application of bionics was that humans invented radar by using the principle that bats guided their flight by ultrasonic waves emitted by themselves. Nowadays, bionic elements have been widely and skillfully used in design by big names. For example, Cartier, a famous French jewelry designer, whose signature jewelry design is cheetah. Its designers comprehensively used the modeling of cheetah, the modeling of running and crouching, and combined with gem setting technology to create a world-famous cheetah ring. Also a big name in jewelry design, Italian Bulgari designers skillfully use the image of a snake, which is characterized by a snake shape on jewelry and a spring buckle hidden in bracelets and watches. The buckle band outside the spring buckle also blends the scale shape on the snake skin, making the watch and bracelet as smart as a snake. Besides animals and plants, bionic objects can also be human beings themselves. A dance studio in the Czech Republic was designed by Canadian designer Frank Gerry and Czech designer Wanado. Their original design was inspired by the dance movements of American tap dancers Fred and Ginger in 1930s and 1940s. Designers extracted the natural bending posture of human limbs from their dance, and then simplified it into curves and integrated it into the building, which made the building look lively and had a strong visual impact on the surrounding ancient buildings at that time, expressing the design concepts of the two designers at that time.
Bionics has been used for thousands of times, but most bionic designs are "sketching", that is, the appearance and structure are copied directly from bionic objects and original objects, which is relatively thin due to the lack of some in-depth designs. Designers can try to integrate bionic elements with other elements, so that the work has more content and meaning, and the work is attached with cultural feelings or significance and quality. For example, Swiss watch and jewelry design brand de grisogono displayed a hip-hop panda ring in Crazymals high-end jewelry collection in 20 17. The designer not only showed the shape and color of the panda, but also added a dome-shaped top hat to the panda's head, which showed the uninhibited spirit of hip-hop street culture. Hip-hop was originally a carrier for black people in American slums to express their anger and fight against racism. Nowadays, hip-hop is a cool and energetic rebellion and pursuit of individuality for young people. The integration of other elements can not only make the work more layered or richer in cultural connotation, but also make the work not appear one-sided and thin. You can also separate your own works from those designed in batches, so that your own works have their own labels, and at the same time reduce the similarity with big-name designs and avoid copyright problems such as plagiarism. However, when merging other elements, we must consider the integration of the two elements, otherwise it is easy to make people feel difficult to contact, that is, coordination. Moreover, we should pay attention to the object screening of bionic elements, and try to choose some specific objects that are easy to extract elements, otherwise it is difficult to achieve bionic works, because bionic itself is to extract inspiration from real creatures in real life. If you choose more abstract objects such as dragons, the design ideas will be easily broken, and it will be difficult to integrate other elements in the later stage. If it is made, it may not be suitable for wearing and the market is small.
Art, which comes from life, will always return to life. Life is colorful and everything is the starting point of bionics. When you come back to life, it will turn into another color. Bionics requires designers to observe carefully in life, have their own experiences, ideas and summaries, mix two or more design inspirations through association, and integrate them into the cultural background of science and technology, region or many places, taking into account the feasibility of actual production. When the work returns to life, it will have a more sense of story and texture, make the work more appealing, and have better market effect and response.
