The Design

About History of Chinese Character Design Bok

Historien om kinesisk skrifttegndesign er en bok som forklarer historien om kinesisk skrifttegndesign fra et designfaglig perspektiv. De sju kinesiske skrifttegnene i tittelen er satt i sju skrifttyper som viser en evolusjonær sammenheng. Svart-hvitt-illustrasjoner åpner hvert kapittel og kombinerer symboler hentet fra teksten med designeksempler fra det aktuelle kapittelet. Mange diagrammer for informasjonsvisualisering underbygger innholdet. En svart innbundet bok glir inn i en hvit og gyllen hard eske med en skuffestruktur.

Design Challenge

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.
