About Kuwasawa Design School 2022 Bələdçi Kitabçası

Yaponiyada ilk dizayn məktəbi olan Kuwasawa Dizayn Məktəbi üçün məktəb bələdçisi. Son illərdə onlayn ünsiyyət artmaqdadır və reallıqla virtual arasındakı sərhəd bulanıqlaşır. Belə bir vəziyyətdə, dizayn qrupu rəqəmsal olaraq tanınanı analoq (kağız və çap) ilə ifadə edərək dizayn imkanını izlədi. İlk baxışdan adi kitab kimi görünsə də, çəkiləndə animasiya işləyir. Bələdçi kitabçası ayrı-ayrı cildlərə bölünüb ki, insanlar ondan müxtəlif yollarla həzz ala bilsinlər. Onlar mətbəədən istifadə edərək rəqəmsal ifadə etməyi hədəflədilər.

Unique Properties
They created a "Kinetic book" that is different from other school guides. They used analog methods (paper and print) to recreate digital images. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary book, but when the book is pulled out, the animation works naturally and surprises the person who sees it. The guidebook is divided into separate volumes so that people can enjoy it in various ways.
Dimensions & Packaging
Dimensions Width:182mm x Height:257mm x Depth:25mm

Production Technology
The case is slit, and the animation is worked by the expression of the cover partially visible through the slit. Although the cover appears to be printed only in black, it is not printed in one black color but in a combination of special colors. The slightest deviation of the color plates creates an optical illusion, reproducing the flicker of RGB colors that can be seen when the monitor is magnified. Under normal conditions, the colors are barely perceptible, but when the slit is passed through, the colors appear as a frame-by-frame feed.
Design Challenge
Slit animation has a narrower range of expression and is extremely difficult to express dynamically compared to ordinary animation. After more than 100 prototypes, they aimed for a digital expression using typography.
Research
As the coronavirus spreads around the world, society has shifted to a teleworking work style. And communication has shifted from face-to-face to online. Now that people see two-dimensional expressions online as a matter of course, There There wanted to redefine the value of the existence of objects. They created this design with the idea of designing an object that exists with a digital look and the sense of strangeness and unreality that comes with it.
Inspiration
School guide for Kuwasawa Design School, the first design school in Japan.
In recent years, online communication has been increasing, and the line between reality and virtual is becoming more and more blurry. In such a situation, There There pursued the possibility of design by expressing what was recognized as digital with analog (paper and print).
For students who are about to study design, they aimed not only to convey basic information about the school's curriculum and facilities but also to serve as a medium for designers to experience and recognize design as something exciting for the first time they are exposed to it.
Project Duration
The project started from July 2020 to April 2021 and was released in Japan in May 2021.
Operation Flow
The target audience is students who want to study design. The objective was to reach as many people as possible and get them interested in design. On social media, the information was shared by many media in Japan and overseas, an unprecedented spread as a school guidebook. The number of requests increased compared to previous years, increasing the school's recognition dozens of times over.
