About History of Chinese Character Design Knjiga

Povijest dizajna kineskih znakova knjiga je koja objašnjava povijest dizajna kineskih znakova s gledišta dizajnerskih studija. Sedam kineskih znakova u naslovu postavljeno je u sedam fontova koji prikazuju evolucijsku povezanost. Crno-bijele ilustracije otvaraju svako poglavlje, kombinirajući simbole preuzete iz teksta i dizajnerske primjere tog poglavlja. Brojni dijagrami za vizualizaciju informacija podupiru sadržaj. Crna knjiga u tvrdom uvezu uklizava u bijelo-zlatnu tvrdu kutiju s konstrukcijom ladice.

Design Challenge
The book took 8 years to compile, during which time, numerous documents were checked, charts were drawn, and words were elaborated.
Research
This book begins with the development of inheritance and innovation of Chinese character design, and through research and analysis, excavates the thinking and methods behind the artistic aesthetics and information transmission function of Chinese characters. The scope of research will be expanded to all kinds of character forms closely related to the history of the whole Chinese character culture circle, and Chinese characters are independent from pure fine arts or philology, forming a relatively independent research system under the dimension of "design science".

For thousands of years, Chinese characters have been widely spread in various ethnic regions and neighboring countries and regions, exerting a profound influence on cultural development.Through research and analysis, this book explores the thinking and methods behind the artistic aesthetics and information communication function of Chinese characters.
