About Josef Koudelka Gypsies 書籍設計

享譽世界的攝影師約瑟夫·庫德卡（Josef Kudelka）在世界許多國家舉辦了攝影展。經過漫長的等待，終於在韓國舉辦了一場以吉普賽為主題的展覽，並製作了他的寫真集。由於這是韓國的第一次展覽，因此筆者要求他想寫一本書，以使他能感受到韓國。韓文和韓屋是代表韓國的韓國字母和建築。文字是指思想，建築是指形式。受這兩個因素的啟發，想設計一種表達韓國特色的方式。

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.
