《松风》这本书是中国艺术家早稻在2013-2105年创作的无字绘本作品。于2015年出版。这也是“遇一蝉”机构做的第一本书。这本书由打错工作室设计。
-covers & spine-
We scaned this art work in 1600dpi and chose 2 parts as covers. And both front cover and back cover have no words, just only picture. The words was printed in package. The tile and artist name was keeped in spine with dark colors.
我们选择了早稻的一副作品,以1600dpi分辨率扫描,最终选择了这两个部分作为封面封底。在封面和粉底上没有放置任何文字和其他版权信息,这些都最终放在了包装上。不过书名、作者、出版社留在书脊处,用了一个对比不怎么明显的色彩。
-package-
For the title calligraphics, Zao Dao wrote  many times. And she chose one which we all like most. This 2 awesome characters were printed on package which made of corrugated paper.
包装设计用的是早稻读书法标题“松风”两个字。为了这两个字早稻写了好几百个,最终选择出最漂亮的方案。这两个字最终以水墨印刷的方式做在了在瓦楞纸包装上。
-sections-
Reorganize the art works, cut the charpters by story scenes, into 5 charpters. And put the single blank pages before charpter 1,2,4,5, and a black folio before charpter 3.
把所有作品重新切段落,按照故事章节分类。确定了在章节1245前的空白页面,以及章节3前的黑色对页。

-symbols-
A funny design is the symbol of charpters. We used points to take of numbers, coz we hoped to use less words as possible as we could.
一个有趣的设计是我们用了小点来代替章节页面,贯彻了这本书“尽可能少用文字”的宗旨。
-layout-
Most of pages are full of Zao Dao's art works. But they still have some changes to follow Zao Dao's creation.
因为早稻的作品极为吸引人,绝大多数页面以满版面呈现,但依然因为早稻的创作方式有所变化。
-materials-
120 pages in all. It's not a thick book, so we need a thick pages. The corrugating paper for pckage is signle layer, easy to fold.
全书只有120页,不算厚,所以用了相对厚的材料来制作封面和内页。外壳包装使用单层瓦楞纸,是方便折叠。
