Abstract

Postage stamps are significant visual artefacts that represent culture and identity. The illustrations on stamps frequently embody diverse approaches to narrating cultural heritage and historical narratives. Sri Lankan designers' lifeworlds - backgrounds, education, and experiences intrinsically shape these approaches. Through an inductive analysis of semi-structured interviews with six designers, this study identifies key themes, including background, mentorship, and the interaction between formal and informal education, and experiential learning in shaping their creative processes in stamp design. Further to the findings anchored in the Concept-Knowledge (C–K) Theory, the study highlights a framework for interpreting the Design Learning and Thinking in stamp design, offering valuable insights into how designers from diverse backgrounds negotiate personal and cultural identity in their creative endeavours.

超越视觉效果：斯里兰卡邮票设计师在邮票设计中的个性化方法

邮票是代表文化和身份的重要视觉文物。邮票上的插图往往体现了叙述文化遗产和历史叙事的不同方法。斯里兰卡设计师的生活背景、教育和经验从本质上塑造了这些方法。通过对六位设计师的半结构化访谈进行归纳分析，本研究确定了影响他们邮票设计创作过程的关键主题，包括背景、导师、正规与非正规教育的互动以及体验式学习。在“概念-知识”理论的基础上，本研究进一步探讨了邮票设计的“设计学习与思维”，为不同背景的设计师在创作过程中如何协调个人和文化认同提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
