With the rapid development of modern society, the
importance of graphics is constantly affirmed. Graphics is
increasingly involved in human social life and ideology and
has become a kind of cultural phenomenon and media that
exchanges and communicates information and expresses
feelings and awareness. As a pioneer of contemporary
graphic design, during a thousands of years the folk patterns
gradually has been developed into a unique free conversion
system for the mutual translation of graphics-text, which
provides a useful reference to the translation obstacles
between oral language (speaking) and written language
(painting) in the process of the graphic design. Based on the
specific analysis of the text-graphics processing relationship
in Chinese traditional folk patterns, this paper attempts to
form the methods and inspiration that is practical and
directive to graphic design.
