當形式功能趨向獨立性，插畫除了可脫離文字配角外，還能詮釋抽象化概念成為完整的藝術設計創作，本研究先彙整不同領域對時間的定義，整理相關以「圖像表現」呈現時間的方式，得知會因時間單位長短、主體運動狀態排列、位置分布、方向和背景關係，傳達時間的邏輯和時序。本文研究者以每周搭乘火車票據為發想，共25張的插畫作品做為實務研究，透過系列式作品將抽象的時間概念轉化為具體的視覺意象，建構出時間、人與物三者之間的文本符碼。

When the form and the function of illustration have gradually evolved and tend to become an independent form of art creation, illustration itself has not only been separated from being a minor character of text but gained its own unique existence and style to become a complete design art. This study focuses on the concept of time, especially on the interactions between time, space and humans defined by different fields, trying to express time by using images and lines to reflect the progress of time. This research idea derives from the writer's weekly train-taking experience and the train tickets inspire this study of practical usage of the twenty-six pieces of illustrations, which have turned the abstract concept of time into the concrete expression of visual art to construct the relationships between time, humans, and the physical world.
