About Josef Koudelka Gypsies O Design Do Livro

Josef Kudelka, um fotógrafo de renome mundial, realizou suas exposições fotográficas em muitos países ao redor do mundo. Após uma longa espera, uma exposição de tema cigano Kudelka foi finalmente realizada na Coréia, e seu álbum de fotos foi feito. Como foi a primeira exposição na Coréia, houve um pedido do autor para que ele fizesse um livro para que pudesse sentir a Coréia. Hangeul e Hanok são letras e arquitetura coreanas que representam a Coreia. Texto refere-se à mente e arquitetura significa forma. Inspirado por esses dois elementos, queria projetar uma maneira de expressar as características da Coréia.

Production Technology
The windows of Korean traditional houses are made of paper, not glass, so the lights are beautifully reflected at night. In order to apply this to the book, he used a paper similar to Changhoji to express the impression that a feeling of impression. (Changhoji is traditional Korean paper for doors) Also, bookbinding was done using gauze, and the front and back cover of the book had a thick cloth attached to the board. Hot foil stamping processing twice on cover, spine and back cover.
Design Challenge
The choice of materials was important in order to create a book that can express Korea's feelings.
Through the selection and expression technique of book cover and page, he were able to complete a design expressing a specific area (country).
Research
There are many ways to make a design result feel a specific area (country). Hints can be found in Hangeul, a character language in Korea, and Hanok, a traditional house. He was worried about how to apply it. We tried to solve Hangeul with the cover and Hanok with the book. Hangeul was actively applied to the cover. In order to express the gleaming hanok at night, the paper on which the text was printed was intentionally made of translucent paper so that the back was visible.
Inspiration
Hangeul and Hanok are Korean letters and architecture that represent Korea. Text refers to the mind and architecture means the form. Inspired by these two elements, he wanted to design a way to express Korean characteristics.
Project Duration
This project began in Seoul, South Korea in March of 2016 and ended in January 2017. The sale of books has been started in South Korea since January 2017.
