For the visual identity of the inD Guangzhou Art Book Fair, we developed a "semi-automatic" generation system.
The term "automatic" refers to the transformation of individual text nodes into graphics by stretching them vertically or horizontally, creating the appearance of books on a shelf when combined. This process from text to graphic to book describes the fundamental process of the birth of each book.
More importantly, due to the diversity of Chinese font styles, the stretched graphics take on various forms, bringing about a peculiar aesthetic while still retaining readability. This blurs the boundaries between text and graphics, corresponding to the diversity and artistry of art books. An unexpected surprise is that, under such treatment, Chinese fonts are more diverse and variable than Western fonts.
"Manual" control involves arranging text horizontally or vertically on the page, adjusting its stretching and skewing angles, turning each page into a slot in a bookshelf, with each character representing a book in everyday life.
inD广州艺术书展活动视觉,我们建立了一套“半自动化”生成系统。
“自动”是指通过单个文字节点的上下或左右的拉伸,使其从单个文字变成图形,组合在一起又形成书架上的书籍。从文字到图形再到成书,描述的也是每一本书最基本的诞生过程。
更重要的是,由于中文字体造型的多样性,拉伸出来的图形形态各异,在保留一定的阅读性之外带来怪异的美感,模糊了文字与图形的界限,这对应着艺术书籍的多样性和艺术性。意外惊喜在于,在这样的处理下,中文字体比西文字体更为丰富多变。
“手动”则是控制文字在页面中的横竖编排、拉伸长短、倾斜角度,使每个页面变成日常生活中的书柜的一格,而每个字就是一本书。
