Y Dyluniad

Am After a Bird Fell Down Llyfr Llun

Testun y Llyfr: Mae After a Bird Fell Down yn llyfr llun sy'n cyfuno strwythur llyfr twll a llyfr naidlun. Mae'r llyfr yn mesur 105 wrth 150 milimetr ac tua 27 milimetr o drwch, yn agos at faint aderyn bach. Wrth i'r tudalennau gael eu troi, mae'r twll yn tyfu'n fwy a'r blaguryn yn codi'n uwch, tra bo'r llyfr ei hun yn mynd yn deneuach. Mae'r clawr yn wyn, ganddo wead tebyg i dywod ac yn dal sticer tryloyw wedi'i argraffu â phluen werdd y tu mewn i bant wedi'i argraffu â gwasgiad. Mae'r dyluniad yn dangos bod amser sy'n mynd heibio yn dod â cholled a thwf newydd fel ei gilydd.

Y Tu Ôl i'r Dyluniad

Pecyn i'r Wasg

Credydau, aelodau tîm a manylion technegol a ddarparwyd gan y dylunydd.

Priodweddau Unigryw: By combining the structure of hole books and pop-up books, this picture book adopts "volume of book pages" into its narrative. While reading, readers would find out the hole bigger and the sprout taller page by page. With A6 size and thickness which is almost three centimeters, the book size is as big as the dead body of a bird. While readers turn each page and make the book thinner, they can feel that the body of a bird gradually disappears at the same time.
Dimensiynau a Phecynnu: 105mm x 27mm x 150mm, 15pages, back taping, debossing and a transparent sticker on cover
Tagiau: graphic design, editorial, book design, picture book, hole book, pop-up book, artist's book
Technoleg Cynhyrchu: In terms of color, the whole book is purely white as possible. Wish such kind of emptiness could make readers relate to "time," something we cannot see but can feel. Besides, there is no words shown on book cover. Instead there is a debossed rectangular pit where a transparent sticker printed with a green feather is at. It looks like a photo frame sealing a feather, which symbolizes that this book seals the death of the bird in this story.

Second, paper with sand-like texture is chosen for the cover. Hope readers can feel like touching the ground; that is, where this story happens.

Third, the copyright page is decorated with blue sky and is the very beginning of this story as well. So, when readers open this book, they would not only read the sentence, "A bird fell down onto the ground," they can dive into this story from the bird's-eye view from the sky.
Her Dylunio: The most difficult part is how to actualize the binding. Before the final version, the design was revised three or four times. At the beginning, this book was envisioned to be the board book for babies. With the binding method which thick cardboard was pasted in pairs, it was planned that there would be a hole within this book. Yet, it would be almost impossible to make holes on each page aligned. In addition, if
chosen paper is thicker than 1 mm, it couldn't be printed or even bound. After long discussions and several revisions, 0.5mm cardboards with spine taping is chosen. Such binding needs more glue than ordinary books to bind pages firmly. It jams pages as well. So, after the printer made several experiments to find out the most suitable way for flipping through, it became the book you see now.
Ysbrydoliaeth: It's a story about seeds germinating after a bird died and fell down onto the ground, and the end but also the beginning of life. Via increase and decrease of its volume, this book want to bring out the plot and core concept: "there are two sides to life.", and make readers realize that time passing are not simply about reduction and death. Increase and birth are also what time passing brings.
