The Brief
——
——
Exploration of the illustrative and expressive use of letterforms. Generation of typography with the same energy and vividness as might be applied to the visual depiction of other forms. Creation and enhancement of meaning by inventive
use of a rigid format.
The Concept
——
The concept of the book derived from a Buddhist religious book about Cause and Effect. The idea behind Cause and Effect is that if in your present life you commit a sin, in your next life, you ought to pay back the sins you’ve commited. Example, if you went fishing in your past life, in this present life you will be born will hare lips. Thus, my idea derived from this book that will help people to realise, what goes around comes around. At the end of the day, the book doesn’t preach about Buddhism or any sorts, it just makes you ponder and reflect about your own life and what is life all about?
The Execution
——
——
The alphabets are in alphabetical orders of han yu pin yin (phonetic system for transcribing the mandarin pronunciations of chinese characters). The chinese words are the sins and deeds, they are then formed into alphabetical shapes.
