Abstract
This paper aims at contributing to a better understanding of essential concepts of inventive visual design. Towards this end, we first outline a framework of formal model of computer-aided visual design. Then, we define particular components of this model paying attention to the role of human visual perception treated as a dynamic process (“active vision”). Moreover, we present different types of logic models used in computer tools supporting the design process and consider an example of a graph-based data structure gathering information on which design knowledge can be based. Finally, the definition of the system of computer-aided visual design is presented. The approach is illustrated on examples of designing teapots.
