本文有几个目的。首先，它假设数学是平面设计中长期以来备受追捧的黑人文化审美[1]的源泉。其次，它为设计师带来了研究，揭示了非洲本土艺术、建筑和文化中先进数学原理的历史存在。第三，它通过展示几何学（西方社会相对较新的学科）如何在历史上嵌入非洲土著，向非裔美国平面设计学生推荐民族数学的文化产物作为创意灵感的替代来源。第四，它报告并分析了对 Cornrow Curves 和 Mangbetu Design 软件程序的设计潜力进行的测试的经验数据，以生成在图形设计学科中有用的数学视觉模式。最后，它讨论了分形几何[2]与平面设计师基于网格的画布的视觉语义的相关性——一种印刷或电子页面或构图，其中文本和图形被战略性地定位，以便不同的受众可以访问它以获取信息和/或审美或文化体验。
This article serves several purposes. First, it posits that math is a source for the long sought after black cultural aesthetic [1] for graphic design. Second, it brings to designers research that has revealed the historical existence of advance mathematical principles in indigenous African art, architecture, and culture. Third, it recommends to African-American graphic design students the cultural artifacts of ethnomathematics as alternative sources for creative inspiration by showing how geometry (a relatively new discipline in western society) has been embedded historically in indigenous Africa. Fourth, it reports and analyzes empirical data from a test done on the design potential of the Cornrow Curves and Mangbetu Design software programs to generate mathematical visual patterns that are useful within the discipline of graphic design. Finally, it discusses the relevance of fractal geometry [2] to the visual semantics of the graphic designer's grid-based canvas-a printed or electronic page or composition in which text and graphics are strategically positioned so that a diverse audience can access it for information and/or an aesthetic or cultural experience.
