About Plants Trade 概唸書和海報

植物貿易是一系列創新和藝術形式的植物標本，其開發目的是在人與自然之間建立更好的關係，而不是建立教學材料。準備了《植物貿易概唸書》，以幫助您了解該創意產品。這本書的設計尺寸與產品尺寸完全相同，不僅包含大自然的照片，還包含受大自然智慧啟發的獨特圖形。更有趣的是，凸版印刷機仔細地印刷了圖形，因此每個圖像的顏色或紋理都像天然植物一樣變化。

Unique Properties: The Concept Book was designed in exactly the same size as the products, botanical specimens. Not only photos of nature, the book also features unique graphics which the designer created with drawing inspiration from the nature’s wisdom. More interestingly, the graphics are carefully printed by letterpress so that every image varies in color or texture, just like natural plants.
Dimensions & Packaging: The Concept Book is a hardcover, 105 x 190 mm, consisting of 52 pages. The Poster is 505 x 728 mm.
Tags: Concept Book, Botanical Specimen, Letterpress, Graphics, Plants Trade, Nature
Production Technology: The Concept Book used the foil printing on its white cardboard cover, the offset printing for 5 photographs and the letterpress printing for 14 graphics. The Poster used the offset printing for the photograph and the letterpress printing for the graphic.
Design Challenge: The difficulty in designing the Concept Book was in what way the designer should create graphics that can make people think of the nature’s wisdom. After consideration, the designer chose the letterpress printing for graphics to depict different colors or textures, just like real plants.
Inspiration: Plants Trade is a series of an innovative and artistic form of botanical specimens, not like the conventional ones that are merely used as educational material. The product was born to build a better relationship between humans and nature. The Concept Book was made to help people understand this creative product.
Project Duration: The project started in September 9th, 2017 in Tokyo and it is still ongoing. The Concept Book was published in Japan on that date and was exhibited at Tokyo Art Book Fair in October 2017, Shibuya Publishing & Booksellers in August 2018 and at Kamome Books in September 2018.
Operation Flow: The Concept Book will be on sales online as well as at exhibitions or events such as art book fair. Not simply as a printed object, the designer hopes people feel the unspoken messages from plants, that is, Nature’s Wisdom.
