Chinese culture has been lasting over five thousand years. The Confucian ideology, Taoism and the rich visual elements embraced in Chinese culture deeply affect the field of international design. As for the one who has been immersed in Chinese culture since its birth is provided with fundamental spirits and ideas via ‘tradition’. Based on this, in my view, new design culture could be established through design transformation and innovation. There are numerous designs developed based on Chinese visual elements. However, these works are able to be distinguished by the application, as well as by the methods used by people, their personal background and the personally- frequently-used techniques. Therefore, the issue of how to perform the unique beauty effectively and efficiently for those designers who lack of Ink Painting specialty and intend to create particular work pieces are explored in this study. The emphasis of the research is put on Chinese literati painting, the predecessor of modern ink painting. Moreover, the masterpieces from Ni-Zan are regarded as demonstration for analysis. With the conceptions of ratio section and GRID from layout design, the composition of literati paintings are featured and organized. Meanwhile, the rules are regulated for the sectioned and completed GRID and further applied to poster design.
