The Design

About Josef Koudelka Gypsies Kniha Design

Světově proslulý fotograf Josef Kudelka uspořádal své výstavy fotografií v mnoha zemích po celém světě. Po dlouhém čekání se v Koreji konečně konala cikánská výstava Kudelka a byla vytvořena jeho fotokniha. Vzhledem k tomu, že se jednalo o první výstavu v Koreji, požádal autor, aby chtěl vytvořit knihu, aby mohl cítit Koreji. Hangeul a Hanok jsou korejská písmena a architektura, které představují Koreu. Text odkazuje na mysl a architektura znamená formu. Inspirovaný těmito dvěma prvky chtěl navrhnout způsob, jak vyjádřit korejské vlastnosti.

Production Technology: The windows of Korean traditional houses are made of paper, not glass, so the lights are beautifully reflected at night. In order to apply this to the book, he used a paper similar to Changhoji to express the impression that a feeling of impression. (Changhoji is traditional Korean paper for doors) Also, bookbinding was done using gauze, and the front and back cover of the book had a thick cloth attached to the board. Hot foil stamping processing twice on cover, spine and back cover.
Design Challenge: The choice of materials was important in order to create a book that can express Korea's feelings.
Through the selection and expression technique of book cover and page, he were able to complete a design expressing a specific area (country).
Research: There are many ways to make a design result feel a specific area (country). Hints can be found in Hangeul, a character language in Korea, and Hanok, a traditional house. He was worried about how to apply it. We tried to solve Hangeul with the cover and Hanok with the book. Hangeul was actively applied to the cover. In order to express the gleaming hanok at night, the paper on which the text was printed was intentionally made of translucent paper so that the back was visible.
Inspiration: Hangeul and Hanok are Korean letters and architecture that represent Korea. Text refers to the mind and architecture means the form. Inspired by these two elements, he wanted to design a way to express Korean characteristics.
Project Duration: This project began in Seoul, South Korea in March of 2016 and ended in January 2017. The sale of books has been started in South Korea since January 2017.
