| DESIGN NAME: Refracting Reality PRIMARY FUNCTION: Book Design INSPIRATION: Light has been the main part of our world since the beginning of time. Humans have learned to use light to tell stories, relate, experience, and communicate. This book questions our perception of the world by examining the light through different forms of expression. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The book expressed light characteristics: Refraction, Reflection, Diffraction, and Interferer through typography and imageries. The light experience was considered in the book's materials, such as coated paper, uncoated paper, and a solid prism. The prism of the book spine was used to manifest the perception of light. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Prism can be taken out of the book spine and readers can experience traits of light such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and Interfere by using the actual prism. They can also interact with the book because a lot of imageries were curated considering this interaction. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2019 in Pasadena and finished in April 2010 in Pasadena. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The book was printed with the Epson P600 inkjet printer and using the Red River paper. Coated paper and uncoated paper were used for inner pages and the prism was used as a book's spine accessory. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: W8.5" x D1.75" x H11.75", 368 pages TAGS: Book Design, Editorial Design, Typography, Transmedia Design RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In modern society, light is commonly used as a medium throughout a lot of screen time and various screen types. The designer wants to understand deeply the history of how humans started using light and what metaphors light has been bringing to humanity throughout centuries.
