The Design

About Defy Disenyo ng Pabalat ng Aklat

Ang Defy ay isang disenyo ng pabalat ng aklat na nilikha para sa isang inilathalang akda tungkol sa anarkismo. Ang isang pares ng salamin sa mata ang bumubuo sa pangunahing biswal na elemento at binalutan ito ng spot varnish upang mas maging makatotohanan ang tekstura nito. Ipinapakita sa pabalat at sa belly band ang mga karaniwang bagay na kadalasang ginagamit ng mga tao sa Taiwan upang gumawa ng mga barikada, tulad ng mga traffic cone, mga bariles, at mga bangkito. Ginamit ang industrial packaging paper bilang materyales sa pag-imprenta. Ang kombinasyon ng kulay na pula, itim, at puti ay nagpapahiwatig ng paghihimagsik at rebolusyon. Ang mga pamilyar na bagay na ito ay nag-uugnay sa isang abstraktong ideya tungo sa pang-araw-araw na buhay.

Unique Properties
The glasses as a main visual hint, are coated with spot varnish to make the texture more realistic. Various typical objects which are often being used to build barricades are showed on the cover and the belly band. Designer tends to recall the shared memories of Taiwanese readers by these familiar objects. Also industrial packaging paper is used for printing material. The color scheme of the cover is red, black and white, in order to create a sense of the Left-wing, rebellion, and revolution. Readers can associate to Anarchism by both visual and tactile perceptions.

Design Challenge
It is a challenge for designer while attempting to intepret the abstract concept of Anarchism for Taiwanese readers, so daily objects are being used allowing readears to easily associate to their experiences.
Inspiration
People are standing up against existing rules, severe laws through provoking small-scale boycotts with typical objects which can be found on the streets of Taiwan. They are often being used to build barricades. For examples like Traffic cone with tire on top, barrels, bench, or a self-made “No Parking” stand. People use these to create a private boundary in a shared place. These behaviors can be taking as actions of Anarchism. The glasses on the other hand, is a symbol of getting a new vewpoint of Anarchism.
Project Duration
The designing project started and finished in April 2021 in Tainan, Taiwan, and was published in Taiwan on 1st of April, 2021.
Operation Flow
The graphic design is to create a shared life experience towards Anarchism, but also to try interpreting a perspective of Taiwanese folk culture.
