Abstract
In previous research, we called the cognitive structures of pattern design "Layer" and classified them into five types. The purpose of this research is to clarify the relations of five kinds of Layer and the differences of the character by the analysis method. The canonical correlation analysis was done using the evaluation values of the patterns and the image feature values of the pattern images. Two axes obtained as a result of the analysis were interpreted, the first axis was named Statistical evaluation axis, and the second axis was named Structural evaluation axis. It was considered that the two axes corresponded to the sight of overall nuance and the sight of form feature. We thought the sight of overall nuance to be evoked easily from the order of the analytical result. It was clarified that Tone Layer means overall arrangement of white elements, Texture Layer means overall distribution, Composition Layer means array rule, Movement Layer means continuous impression by travel of elements, and Detail Layer means easiness of elements to be caught by the eye.
