Application of Motifs from Identity of Black Tai Clothing to Design Ikat Motifs

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to design Ikat fabric motifs from the identity of the Black Tai clothing motifs; and to study the opinions of experts on the design of Ikat fabric motifs by using vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator. Data were analyzed by using the mean and standard deviation (S.D.). The design of Ikat fabric motifs from the identity of the Black Tai clothing motifs for 3 motifs were: Dok Paed motif, Dok Chan motif, and Bo Laew motif. The composition of the 3 patterns was then arranged as follows: the 1^st pattern: asymmetrical balance composition, the 2^nd pattern: rhythmic composition, and the 3^rd pattern: traditional composition with full pattern. There were nine Ikat fabrics in total.
The study of experts’s opinions on the Ikat fabric motifs from the identity of the Black Tai clothing motifs found that the experts agreed with Dok Chan motif and Dok Paed motif at the extremely high level ( = 4.24 and = 4.22, in order) and Bo Laew motif at a high level (  = 4.18). In terms of pattern composition, the experts agreed with the 1^st pattern at an extremely high level (  = 4.29). They also agreed with the 3^rd pattern and the 2^nd pattern at a high level (  = 4.18 and  = 4.17, in order)
