Unique Properties: This project consists of three booklets presenting plants, animals, and geology in Muzha through visual storytelling. It integrates lenticular printing and layered materials to create shifting visuals and progressive content reveal. By transforming complex information into an interactive experience, the design stands out in its ability to combine knowledge, material, and perception, encouraging exploration and engagement.
Dimensions & Packaging: B5 176 x 250 mm. The project consists of three themed booklets. It incorporates layered page structures, tracing paper, and lenticular printing techniques to create depth, visual variation, and interactive reading experiences.

Production Technology: This project uses lenticular printing to create visual changes and enhance depth as the viewing angle shifts. Tracing paper is applied as a translucent layer to simulate drifting mist and reveal content progressively. Combined with custom illustrations and structured layouts, these techniques create an interactive reading experience that encourages active exploration.
Design Challenge: The project faced challenges in collecting and structuring information on plants, animals, and landforms in Muzha. A key difficulty was translating complex knowledge into clear visual narratives while maintaining accuracy. Integrating material techniques such as tracing paper and lenticular printing into a unified design system also required experimentation. These issues were addressed through iterative prototyping, visual refinement, and balancing content, material, and user experience.
Research: This project is a qualitative design research study exploring how book design can communicate local environmental knowledge and emotional experience. Field observation in Muzha, visual documentation, and analysis of natural elements were conducted. Data was collected through photography, sketching, and iterative material testing. Prototypes were evaluated by local residents and design focus groups. Results indicate that layered materials and interactive elements enhance engagement and comprehension. The research demonstrates how design methods can transform complex information into accessible and meaningful experiences.
Inspiration: This project is inspired by the natural landscape of Muzha, where the city meets the mountains. It is motivated by a desire to revive a sense of curiosity toward nature, similar to the wonder experienced in childhood. By focusing on overlooked plants, animals, and landforms, the project aims to transform local knowledge into an engaging experience and encourage a deeper connection with the environment.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2025 and was completed in March 2026 at Ming Chi University of Technology in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The booklets are explored through tilting and page turning. The lenticular cover creates shifting visuals, while layered translucent pages reveal content gradually. As readers move through the book, information unfolds step by step, guiding exploration of plants, animals, and landforms. This interaction enhances engagement and helps users understand complex information more clearly.
