近年來，世界各國積極推動文化創意產業的發展，並將文化創意產業政策視為國家發展的重點計畫，其中，行政院自二○○二年推動的「挑戰二○○八－國家發展建設計畫」，將「創意台灣」規劃為現階段施政的目標與願景。文化創意產業在全球化之下，隨著傳統產業的轉型及社會對生活與消費品質的詮釋，逐漸累積豐富的社會能量，文建會報告也指出：工藝文創是台灣的藝術產業中發展較為成熟的產業，也是發展的重點項目之一。
以十二生肖為文創主題，對華人而言在日常生活、信仰與文化各方面都有特殊的情感，而隨著地球村的趨勢與中國的崛起，相關的文創商品也相繼成為設計主題。另外從閱讀的現況來看，網路時代雖然帶動電子書普及化的潮流，但紙本閱讀並沒有因此被完全取代，書架設計能否兼具機能、美感與故事特質，也成為文創商品設計的重要關鍵。因此本研究以十二生肖為創作主題，結合電腦繪圖和木工技術，創作一系列「十二生肖造形木製書架」的文創商品設計，藉由動物書架造形設計，增加商品的感性設計和增進閱讀的樂趣與氛圍，本創作也適合新購或借閱有期限性書籍之收納，達到提醒閱讀及方便拿取書本的功能。
本研究分析市售的書架設計，將書架依「機能」分為機能性書架和造形性書架，依「設置方式」分為落地式書架、壁掛式書架和桌上型書架三種，此系列商品以「造形性桌上型書架」為定位，輔以自創品牌之視覺識別系統設計，進行視覺形象與商品設計整合，並綜合創作過程與成品提出成果報告與建議，以提供設計創意實務暨設計教學之參考。

In recent years, the world actively promotes the development of cultural and creative industries, and makes the cultural and creative industry policy as the focus of national development plans.
