Same sentence as previous question.
妥当性の検証は，表示系デザイン（パッケージデザイン）２件をモチーフとして実施した。

I find this a bit cryptic if motif is used in the sense of 'visual motif'. Is it perhaps used here to mean subject/topic.

  -> Thanks, Angel.
中立  Maynard Hogg: Yes, it's rare to see "motif" in Japanese instead of the usual, hard-to-translate テーマ. I spoke too soon. First, an informant told me that it's used all the time in 美術 circles. Then, a radio announcer used it five times in five minutes.

  -> I think "motif" is even worse than theme, though. :)

motif


説明：
From the reference below: "Motif® is the industry standard graphical user interface, (as defined by the IEEE 1295 specification), used on more than 200 hardware and
software platforms. It provides application developers, end users, and system vendors with the industry's most widely used environment for
standardizing application presentation on a wide range of platforms. Motif is the leading user interface for the UNIX® based operating system. "

Asker: Really? Shouldn't it be モチーフ上で or something?

Yes, you are right. I didn´t read carefully the context. Discard this answer please. Casey's is closer to the idea.
