Notes:
In the appearance design of a product, the designer should combine his/her creativethinking with the industrial design approaches and skills to carry out the creative design from theaspects of product’s shape, color and texture, etc. However, from the viewpoint of the brand, acompany or a product should have its own unique style of appearance. How to balance the creativityof designer and the original style is often a contradiction in product design. Based on thisconsideration, this paper presented a concept of Inheriting Degree (ID) in product appearance design.The visual characteristics of the product appearance were analyzed first and the hierarchical systemfor ID in product appearance design was established. The idiographic indexes of ID were given for aproduct’s appearance in shapes, colors and textures, respectively. By introducing set theory, themathematical models were established and calculation formulae for each kind of ID were proposed.The results of this paper would provide a theoretical foundation for designer to generate designconcepts in brand products. It also would provide a guideline for the development of computer aideddesign and evaluation system for the appearance design of brand products
