Abstract
Actively, the importance of synergies and synthesis in art created as a result of planetary influences from traditional Igbo art forms in their cultural entities and harmonies, are culturally set as art canons that survives for art and design implications. Which by foremost is focused on the encounters that determines the aesthetic view as; motivates and realities to design consciousness, its interpretations are valid as indigenous knowledge system in the art and design world. Especially where this system places its interest on the distinctions that are imperatively made of visual elements seen as permits from traditional Igbo art forms, since their validations and extensions is of aesthetic inclinations that become part and parcel of what constitutes design in such standpoints where their combination as motifs, symbols and synchronization of discards on packages amounts to be the expressive containers in which visual language is created to communicate meanings. Much as they serve reasonably, to be the part of design elements applied into other art and design fields, generated and fashioned to suit the change in trends of modern to postmodern conventions through mixed media painting exploration to graphics of comics, multimedia, and animation considered to be the modifications and commodification that acknowledges adjustment to such trends especially when this accepts the possibilities where such system shaped by an artistic knowledge, is appreciated alternatively as aesthetic conventions seen, enjoyed and understood as co-planetary situated within the context and quest that overrides artist implication to visibility of onlookers perception.
