420*285cm / 44pages / hard cover
Canvas of Wang Kewei, is art book of Chinese traditional artist Wang Kewei, which published in April 2018. This book was designed by the founder of Catch A Ciada, Zhuo Yu.
《王可伟油画集》这本书收录了画家王可伟在上世纪90年代一直到2010年代期间的大尺寸油画作品。这本书的由遇一蝉机构的卓雨设计。
-covers-
I made the cover like a page with many words. coz the art work looks powerful. The less cover-feeling, the more art power. And still, it means this book "just a page in artist's history".
在封面上我留了比较多字,让他看起来像是一张内页。因为王可伟的作品尺寸很大,气势雄浑,削弱封面的感觉反而能突出画面的力量。另外这也象征着“画家生涯的一页”。
-sections-
Reorganize the art works into 5 charpters. Charpter 4 just only introduce the most important art work. And the last charpter's existing was be weaken.
作品按照题材划分,分为5个章节,章节4介绍了画家最重要的一张作品,成为重中之重。但最后一个章节的存在感被弱化,甚至不设计章节首页。
-symbols-
A sketch from artist, I made it be a mark of each articles in book and the frist pages of each charpter. The red mark is the mark of whole book, only on cover and frist page.
王可伟老师画了一张小速写,我把它做成书中的印章,每次都和文字出现,每个章节开头也有。画家红色的印章成为全书的印章,只在扉页和封面。
-layout-
This book has few pages, so the layout design is free. The pagenumbers, articles, and pictures are all different in each pages. The same design is the frist page of charpters. Some picture was rotated 90 degrees. This is rare in other books.
这本书页码非常少,所以在版面设计上反而比较自由。在不同的版面上,页码数字、文章、全部按照作品尺寸来,而没有固定的拍法。只有在章节页开篇处保持了一致的设计。有时候还会把图旋转90°。
-the charpter 4-
Chapter 4 introduces only one picture but has 8 pages. I strengthen this chapter with a folio and dark background as the beginning. Then, the whole picture, the details, and the photos were displayed in three parts. The sketch of the page becomes a speed line from left to right, symbolizing the visual line and end of this part.
章节四只介绍了一张画,却有8页。我的做法是用一个2倍大,而且背景加暗的对页作为开头,强化这个章节。之后用全图、细节、照片三个部分展示。最后一个对页中的速写成为一个从左到右的速度线,象征着这个部分的视觉流动和结束。
-materials-
44 pages in all. Too thin, and too big size. So the pages need very thick paper as as common cover.
全书只有44页,非常薄,加上书尺寸很大,所以内页只能用封面级厚度的用纸。
