Book design is a multi-faceted, three-dimensional, multi-level, multi-factor artistic design, so its formal beauty should first be reflected in its space, because books are essentially a tectonics, a cultural product of three-dimensional concepts, and there is infinite space that can be developed and used. Today's book design has long ceased to stay on the two-dimensional surface, but under the three-dimensional concept to achieve the perfect unity of book form and function. How to explore these hidden spaces in book design and make books move from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional space has attracted more and more attention from designers.
The spatial design in the book is a two-dimensional to three-dimensional transformation
Books are a seemingly ordinary but very special carrier, is three-dimensional space characteristics, people are often limited to its two-dimensional space, such as the cover and layout of these surfaces, but it is a two-dimensional to three-dimensional transformation, this concept is not just a simple two-dimensional inner page accumulated into a volume into a three-dimensional space. People tend to think of graphic design as a two-dimensional pure plane, or at most as an extremely thin cube. But in essence, the book is a three-dimensional spatial carrier, like architecture. The cover, spine and back cover are the outer walls, and the inner pages inside are the shoulder blades of the building. With flipping, books move from static to dynamic, flat to three-dimensional, two-dimensional to three-dimensional, which is the so-called living book.
Book design is different from other graphic design, it is through three-dimensional physical objects to perceive the existence of space, while flat design is to express virtual space through two-dimensional form, is an illusion, is an illusion, is a non-substantial space, that is, the so-called sense of space.
When designers carry out the overall design of the book, they should start from this point and pursue a flowing three-dimensional sense of space with vitality in the whole book. Moving from two-dimensional to three-dimensional is a process of psychological cognition, and readers can appreciate the spatial characteristics contained in it. If the concept of time is integrated, every reading, every pause, the time element that appears in the continuation of time can even constitute the so-called four-dimensional space. Xia Xiaowan, a contemporary artist who explores space art, began "space painting" in 2002. "Space painting" is actually a deconstruction and reconstruction of two-dimensional painting, by deconstructing flat painting into images on multi-layered transparent media, and then reconstructing these "cut sections" into a three-dimensional picture in depth..."A series of overlapping combinations of local images outside the picture form a 'suspended' complete form." The attempt is to liberate painting from the constraints of the medium and create 'self-made' images in three-dimensional space. The album "Early Spring Pictures", published in conjunction with his solo exhibition, is a good example. The exhibition album is an important medium to express a painter's artistic concept, as a virtual venue, people who cannot be present can visit the exhibition by looking at the album, it has to reproduce grand works in a limited space. And this album can be said to have achieved the extreme, it is a miniature version of the painter's work. It deconstructs and reconstructs the concept of space in Guo Xi's "Early Spring Picture" interpreted by Xia Xiaowan and reappears in the book. The glass used in the original work was replaced by transparent film in the book as the "paper" in the book. Each page is one of the layers of landscape painting as a three-dimensional image, and when a thick stack of filins is stacked on top of each other, it finally presents a three-dimensional landscape painting suspended in the air in this small space. Closing the book, this three-dimensional "Early Spring Picture" is stored in this static square box. The appearance looks like an ordinary book, but when opened, it is a new world of literati Yaxing. This album perfectly unifies content and form, aesthetics and function, and perfectly integrates the aesthetics of book design with the information function that the book itself needs to convey, realizing the progress of two-dimensional to three-dimensional.
