The Design

About ZDCollections Bokdesign

ZDCollections er en bok som presenterer de årlige designarbeidene til tjuetre studenter. Den fjerde utgaven av samlingen deler de utvalgte verkene inn i skrifttyper, grafikk, RGB og andre elementer, som deretter blir omorganisert og kombinert. Layouten beveger seg bort fra det vanlige rutenettet for å avdekke meningen bak hvert verk. Omslaget er laget med et lasermateriale som utvisker grensen mellom farge og grafisk form, slik at oppmerksomheten rettes mot innholdet. Boken måler 150 ganger 252 millimeter og inneholder 430 sider.

Production Technology: Breaking the traditional regular frame type layout, and adopting breakthrough design techniques to better show the inner meaning of his works. Through the layout and design of the page, the text is combed as a whole, so that readers can have an effective effect on the understanding of the text content and feel the pure fluency brought by reading. Strictly control the color saturation, ink penetration and image reduction of printing quality.Pay attention to the quality and details of each link of the binding,and increase the pleasure of its readers.
Design Challenge: In this design, the most difficult part is the book cover design. We think about how to convey the information in the book to readers through visual expression. And did a lot of related investigations and data collection. In the end, a laser material was selected to illustrate the theme of the entire book, so that the cover and the inner pages are better connected.
Research: This book divides the excellent design works of 23 students in one year into fonts, graphics, RGB and other elements, and then rearranges them. Through the choice of paper, the layout design, the composition of the rhythm space of the content, the application of fonts, the way of binding, etc., as well as the overall expression of content and form, it brings a sense of pleasure to the five senses.
Inspiration: The inspiration of book cover design comes from the blur of color and graphic boundary.Fuzzy book itself is a design work,which is used to rearrange different design works on the inner pages of the book,so laser material is used to design the cover and then blur the overall sense of the book. At the same time,let readers pay more attention to the content of the book.
Project Duration: The work started in Dalian in July 2019, completed in Dalian in March 2020, and was exhibited at Dalian Bingshan Huigu in May.
Operation Flow: The book integrates its content style, table design sequence, etc. By blurring the color and graphic boundaries, blurring the book itself is a design work, which corresponds to the rearrangement of different design works on the inner pages of the book. Therefore, the cover is designed with laser materials, which blurs the overall feel of the book and makes readers pay more attention to the content.
