Brief 02 | Publishing Forms
In the brief 2 project, we need to make a visual publication based on the poems that are assigned.
- RESAERCH
I was assigned the sixth poem: colour blind by lemn sissay. First of all, it is my research based on the poet’s life and the disease of color blindness itself. I put the contents of the draft together.
At the same time, according to the three parts of poetry, I analyze and color correspond the verbs and nouns of each poem, and summarize the poet’s emotion, as well as the changes of the rhythm and content of the poem.

Analysis of the verses of the first and second parts
Analysis of the verse in the third part
- SKETCH
Then there is the sketch part. In this part, I start from three aspects: the audience, the design method and the display method. I hope the audience can be color blind people and people without color blindness.
I concluded that in the eyes of color blind people, color will become indistinguishable, unable to determine color lightness and saturation. So I want to let people read this book in two ways.
sketch idea
The first: from a subjective point of view, black, white and gray pictures are the same, which can be any color you want.
The second: analyzing the color blocks of things from an objective point of view.
My inspiration comes from zime blue, which is an episode of love death robots, a Netflix collection drama, which explains the concept of returning to itself and reducing complexity to simplicity. I thought that all colors would become black when mixed together, and that complex colors could be converted into three monochromes of black, white and gray.
This is a sample I made:

- Ebook development
Part 1
Based on the above ideas, I made a physical book.
The inner page of the first part of the color map mainly uses the extraction of photo color blocks, which extracts the changes of brightness and saturation of colors of the same color to overlap.
Because the verses of the first part can easily extract objective colors from the verses.
The main three parts of the book
First Part -01
First Part -02
First Part -03
Part 2
The color inner pages of the second part are mainly based on the subjective perception of the color of the scene, and are extracted from abstract lines and the feelings when reading the corresponding verses.
Second Part -01
Second Part -02
Second Part -02
Part 3
In the third part, I used a more general pattern and combination to show the scene depicted in the verse. As the layers progressed, the boundaries between colors and objects became more blurred.
Third Part -01
Third Part -02
Third Part -03
Third Part -04
- Physical book display
In the display part of the physical book, I bound the colored inner pages of the book with iron rings on the spine of the book, and the complete colored pages can only be seen in the gaps or by opening the iron ring binding.
Cover
By scanning the QR code on the book packaging, you can jump to the display of the e-book and the dynamic image of the visual effect.
The blue world in the eyes of children, through the hollow holes, you can see the colored pictures on the inside pages.
The inner page shows the blue in the eyes of people with different expressions, they are intertwined, and they see the world with their eyes.

In this project, I connected my physical books with QR codes. In blog1, I read the book ‘Internet of Things’ which was very helpful for my book project. The two QR codes on the cover respectively show the electronic version of the visual book and the visual dynamic effect video made with mental canvas.

- Reflection
In this project, I explored various forms of books and learned about the combination of book content and electronic representation. I think there can be more attempts in terms of content understanding and more presentation forms.
Process 01
Process 02
In the discussion stage of workshop and finished product display, I saw many different ways of expression, which make the book more special and interesting
