《字然浮现-廿四节气月历》

2021年夏秋的北京下了很多的雨,正值寒露,执笔写下关于《字然浮现》的各种故事和事故。

————————
#关于名字

整个作品是关于中文字形设计和节气的,制作时采用了立体浮雕烫印的工艺让字形设计以雕塑感的效果浮现于纸上,所以取名“字然浮现”。

————————
#关于故事

人生平淡也没什么故事,从创立个人设计工作室开始,就将创作和工作彻底搅和在一起了,希望让创作反哺工作,让工作为创作争取更多空间。

这次用高反差、高对比的图形结合传统书法运笔连笔的转承关系来设计新创意字形,同时借鉴碑刻来设置明暗交界的屋脊线,突出明暗渐变来塑造立体雕塑感。最后用廿四节气的名词来展示出来。在连笔上主要参考了行书,这种书法连笔的转化为字形设计加入了很强的装饰感,同时又起到了视觉引导的作用。

2021年7月全部节气设计完成,开始制作一套特殊效果的字形设计衍生品-《字然浮现-廿四节气月历》。为了更好还原平面设计的效果,采用了全立体浮雕烫金工艺,为此特制了27块铜质立体浮雕版,全部纯手工烫金制作,并选用了多种不同的烫金颜色来表现一年四季的变化,并且是带有底调的炫彩颜色,在自然光线下炫彩变幻,时而绚丽时而宁静。读者可撕除日期部分,将字形设计集体装裱入框陈列。

套装里还包含一枚优雅的“寒露”金属书签,材质为不锈铁电镀黑,为将书签完美展示和收纳,在书签背卡内部加入磁片,让它可以自然吸附在背卡上而不易掉落,取用时只需轻轻一拍即可取下。

最后全部放置在木匣内收纳,盒盖选用了水纹透明亚克力,字形可以隐约透过水波纹折射出来,仿佛从水中浮现的意境,让整体产品更符合自然节气的主调。

限量制作500套。

#关于事故

立体浮雕版需要全手工制作,对时间周期和制作技术要求比较高,急切要拿到成品而将工期压缩一半,导致烫印出现很多微小瑕疵,非常惋惜。中途更改书签背卡材质,在没有测试的情况下用手工纸装裱,结果导致严重变形,全部作废,改回初始工艺。

"Arising Characters -24 Solar Terms Calendar"

During the summer and autumn of 2021, there was a lot of rain for young people in Beijing. It was the time of cold dew, and wrote various stories and incident about "Arising Characters".

—————————
#About name

The whole work was about Chinese characters and solar terms. The process of three-dimensional embossing and hot stamping was used to make the character design rised like sculpture on the paper, and the name is "Arising characters".

—————————
#About the story

Starting from the seting up my personal design studio, I have successfully blended my creation and work together, hoping to let the work reverse feeding and create more space for my creation.

This time, I used high-contrast graphics combined with traditional calligraphy and the transfer of pen to design new glyphs. At the same time, the inscription was shaped to set the roof line at the junction of dark, highlighting the gradual three-dimensional sense of light and dark. At last, use all of them to show the name of 24 solar terms. The running script is mainly referred to in the continuous strokes. The conversion of the continuous strokes of calligraphy into the glyph design adds a lovely sense of decoration and at the same time plays a role of visual guidance.

After the design period completed in July 2021, I began to produce special glyph design derivatives-"Arising Characters-24 Solar Terms Calendar". Special 27 copper three-dimensional embossed plates, all hand-stitched and bronzed, and hand-carved with a variety of different bronzing colors, showing the changes in the four seasons of the year, what are the dazzling colors of the background, changing under natural light, occasionally gorgeous and quiet. The date part can be removed, and the glyph design part can be collectively mounted into the picture frame.

The set also contains an exquisite "COLD DEW" metal bookmark, made of stainless iron black. In order to perfectly display and take in the bookmark, a magnetic sheet is added to the bookmark back card, which can be naturally placed on the back and not easy to dropping out. It’s also easy to pick the bookmark up by taping the card.

All in the wooden box, water pattern acrylic was used on the box cover, so that the water condensate shape appears, the artistic conception rising from the water, and the overall product is more in line with the main theme of nature.

Limited quantity of 500 sets.

#About the incident

The three-dimensional reliefs were all made by hand, which requires more time and high-tech. It was eager to complete and the construction period was compressed, which leads to many small defects in the printing, which is very regrettable. On the way, the material of the back card of the bookmark was mounted with handmade paper without testing, so it was severely deformed and all wasted. At last reproduced them all.
