Poverty in the Midst of Plenty 「貧富懸殊」
HDMM Year 2 Semester 2 Subject - SD3101 Desktop Publishing
Redesign the Layout of the cover, content page, two double spreads for existing magazine, and I have choose a Taiwan magazine – dpi. The original name of the magazine is “dpi出版設計家雜誌”, the first volume was published at 1988 July. At 2002 September, the company change the name to “dpi設計流行創意雜誌”. The original meaning of “dpi” is measure of spatial printing (dots per inch), but the company claim that “It's more than a magazine between you and dpi.”, it also include “design”, “popular” and “innovation”. And their slogan is “Like every children should have a favorite fairy tale; every designer should own a PC or Mac, and “dpi.” As the magazine is about the culture and art, I choose to use the WYNG Masters Award Inaugural Exhibition as the main content of the magazine, and the theme of this year competition is“Poverty in the Midst of Plenty”. |

為市面上已出版的雜誌重新設計排版 (包括封面、目錄及兩個跨頁),選定雜誌為台灣出版的設計流行創意雜誌 – dpi。 這本雜誌於1988年7月開始發行,原名為《dpi出版設計家雜誌 》,於2002年9月改名為《dpi設計流行創意雜誌 》。dpi 是印刷上的單位,原意是指每英寸內的墨溫點數量,而出版社指讀者與他們之間的關係不止限於 dpi 雜誌,還包含 設計 (design)、流行 (popular)及 創意 (innovation),並以「就像每一個孩子都該有一個喜歡的童話;每一位設計師都該有一台PC或MAC,及一本『dpi 』。 」為口號。 基於雜誌屬於流行文化類別,故此我選擇了2013年度的WYNG大師攝影獎作品展作主要內容,並以本年度的題材 - 貧富懸殊為設計主題。 |
Searching creativity inside handcraft 「手‧尋創意 」
HDMM Year 2 Semester 2 Subject - SD3004 Final Year Project
Some people have claim that Hong Kong is a place without creative, however, I believe that creative not just mean that we have to produce a whole new item, and we can also find it from handmade item. Therefore, I would like to publish a magazine that introduce handmade to public. The magazine introduce one type of handcraft on each volume, including the interview of local handmade brand, introduction of local handcraft fair and the place for procurement, which hope to introduce handcraft to the public and help the local handmade industry to promote themselves. The title of the project is Searching creativity inside handcraft , it is the name of the magazine too. In Chinese, the pronunciation of the “手” and “搜” are same, and “搜尋” means search, therefore, there are two kind of meaning, handcraft and search, and when we combine them with the word creativity, this title brings out the concept of my project - you can find creativity from handcraft. The word “Handcraft” means practical and decorative items that made by our own hands. Its history can be traced back to 5000 years ago, in India and Pakistan, the development of Indus Valley’s civilization helps to generated craft tradition, such as weaving, pottery and jewelry making, which evolved into today’s hand-made.As most of the handmade items used natural materials, the vast majority of hand-made from the rural culture, it own the features of folk art and local culture. “A thread in a mother’s loving hand, makes up the clothes for her traveling son.” I believe most of the reader will think about fabric and sewing when they heard about handcraft, also, sewing is one of the handcraft that have a long history and variable, which is easily for the target audience to reach in the first volume. |
多媒體設計高級文憑 二年級 畢業作品
曾有人說過香港人沒有創意,但我認為創意並不單指創做新的物品,透過手作,我們也可以尋找出創意。故此,我決定出版一本向公眾介紹手作文化的雜誌,作為我的畢業作品。 這本雜誌將會以一種特定的手作作為主題,內容包括與本地手作人的訪談、香港手作市集介紹及採購材料的地方,從而希望公眾能導手作這一門創意工業有更深入的認識,並給予本地手作人一個宣傳的機會。 作品名稱是「手‧尋創意 」,同時亦是雜誌的名稱。「手 」跟「搜」的中文發音相同,「手 」字代表手作,故此「手‧尋創意 」有透過手作尋找出創意這個意念。 手作一詞源於英文Hand-made,跟手工藝一詞 Handicarft意思相近,意指實用而又具有裝飾性的手製的物品。手作的歷史可追溯到5000年前,在印度和巴基斯坦一帶,印度河流域的文明進步產生了豐富的工藝傳統,如編織、製陶和珠寶首飾的製作,來便演變成現今的手作。藉由初期的手作大多使用自然物料中可見,絕大部份的手作都源於農村文化,具有民間藝術、地方特色的特點。正因為親手製作絕不可能有同機械化生產般令每件產品一模一樣,這種獨一無二便成了手作的特色和賣點。 「慈母手中線,遊子身上衣。」,聽及手作,相信不少人也會想起布藝,而布藝手作也可以說是多種手作裡的最多變者,故此我選用布藝作主題,帶讀者進入屬於香港人的手作世界。 |
