Schriftbilder, Bilderschrift: Chinesisches Plakat und Buchdesign Heute
He, Jianping | 2016
The exhibition presents the design of posters and books, featuring more than 70 designers from China, Hongkong, Taiwan, and Macao. Designed for the exhibition, “Schriftbilder Bilderschrift - Chinesisches Plakat- und Buchdesign heute” is a catalogue that differs from the conventionally rectangular, symmetrical, and flat book design; instead, it is a trapezoidal shape consisted of folding pages in traditional Chinese books. Unlike the general arrangement of bilingual books, “Schriftbilder Bilderschrift - Chinesisches Plakat- und Buchdesign heute” ingeniously conceals the Chinese parts and other sections into the folding pages. Printed in special colors and mostly hand-made, the book not only shows the maturity of contemporary Chinese book design and printing techniques; it is also intended to remind of the significance of hand-made books that serve not only functional purposes but also retain the aesthetic and collecting value as art.
