About History of Chinese Character Design Buch

„History of Chinese Character Design" ist ein Buch, das die Geschichte der chinesischen Schriftzeichengestaltung aus der Perspektive der Designwissenschaft erläutert. Die sieben chinesischen Schriftzeichen des Titels sind in sieben Schriftarten gesetzt, die eine evolutionäre Beziehung zueinander aufzeigen. Schwarz-weiße Illustrationen eröffnen jedes Kapitel und verbinden aus dem Text abgeleitete Symbole mit Gestaltungsbeispielen des jeweiligen Kapitels. Zahlreiche Diagramme zur Informationsvisualisierung unterstützen den Inhalt. Ein schwarzer Hardcover-Band gleitet in einer Schubladenkonstruktion in eine weiß-goldene feste Schuberhülle.
