Aplicación de la Microfotografía de Frutas Tropicales Representativas de la Costa Ecuatoriana en un Sistema de Lenguaje Gráfico Básico.

Abstract

Implementation of the microphotography of representative tropical fruits of the Ecuadorian coast in a system of basic graphic language, made in Riobamba, School of Graphic Design, Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo. Applying Photo Techniques, with a digital microscope, different magnification (1000x), light and appropriate approach for microphotographs of 13 fruits for export (traditional and nontraditional). The analytical method used to analyze the images, obtaining compositional modules, subsequently change them and arranged in reticules with the assistance of software to vector images and thus acquires 46 detailed basic graphic systems in a digital catalog. In addition to comparatively analyze the microphotographs, its visual characteristic, for consistency and perception, from this way grouping into 6 groups for validation, randomly, six basic graphic systems were chosen by applying them into 3 categories of design: textiles (comforters, cushions and bags), decoration (wallpaper, vases and lamps) in jewelry (rings, earrings and necklaces). Then using the focus group technique, we surveyed 35 students from Design, also 10 professionals from, Graphic Design, valuing graphic systems and applications, valuations obtained were analyzed statistically obtaining 80% that graphic design systems possess compositional elements, modular and chromatic harmony, and 81% said that proposed applications are functional. concluded that is possible to propose basic graphic systems (modules, chromatic and textures), taking nature as a source of reference. I recommend that future research are promoted on using microphotography other elements present in nature, to propose new graphics systems.
