Shen Congwen's Hometown Five Books

Book Design | 2018 | Zhangzhiqi

The five books in shen congwen's hometown are a collection of many works written by shen congwen. The design idea is to construct the design symbol from the perspective of the relationship between people and the environment. Through the image connection between the design symbols to convey, people's emotions originate from life. From life, people will return to life and become the constructors of life. The seal of each book is made of paper similar to the wall texture of the houses in western hunan and printed with different symbolic figures to indicate the real and illusory life. The title of the cover indicates the displacement of life according to different locations in southeast and northwest. Before and after the book shows the photos of the author and his wife in different periods, which is also the record and reconstruction of life. The paper that the inner seal USES similar black tile to suggest a person is in the life, the content in the book is to come from the feeling of life and move with the implied echo of protecting white wall. The internal text processing is slack, and the recorded manuscript and sketch are inserted randomly in the page, and some photos are included, forming a relation with the cover.
