[Bookbinding Design] Shopping Design We Collect This Kind of Design

We Collect This Kind of Design This issue includes a letterpress designed bookmark. ● Magazine Introduction "We Collect This Kind of Design" explores the contemporary significance of bookbinding and packaging from three perspectives: those who create it, those who sell it, and those who collect it, spanning design, industry, and lifestyle. As an art form comprising design, illustration, photography, structure, materials, printing, and post-processing, the richness of bookbinding allows "intangible content" to have a "tangible extension" visually. Far from disappearing in the digital age, it has become a symbol of warmth, giving various forms of content a value that can be physically treasured. Bookbinding design is design in everyday life. It is the carrier of content, found in shops and homes, becoming a corner for the soul to rest. Bookbinding design is design of style, extending and preserving knowledge and music, imbuing them with the meaning of being cherished. Within bookbinding lies the evolution of design; it is functional, beautiful, and valuable, but more importantly, it is meaningful, existent, and priceless. ● Table of Contents 012 View The Days and Nights of Bookbinding, the Life and Death of Words—Chien Wei-hsun 014 View Bookbinding: Judge a Book by Its Cover—Ming 016 View Bookbinding Design is: Creating Between the Fantastical and the Realistic—Fang Hsu-chung 020 Exhibition Curating in the Name of Travel and Accommodation, Telling the Story of Taiwanese Manga—Sanyang-Sanyin 024 Good Store Shaping an Ideal Coffee Shop from a Grain of Sand—SAND COFFEE 030 Place Creating a Space to Co-author with Time—Mineless 034 Craft Born Human, My Fascination Lies In: Approaching Industrial Machinery with My Hands—Chen Hsiang-jung 038 Tech Creating Bodily Experiences Without Boundaries—Paris Ball 042 Fashion Contemporary Women's Wear Blending Rationality and Emotion, Sensuality and Free-spiritedness—Seivson 046 Cover Story We Collect This Kind of Design 048 Note The Album Designs We Chased Together in Those Years—Yan Po-chun 050 Note At That Moment, We Possessed All of Music—Lai Chia-wei Part 1: Creators of Bookbinding 054 Creators Between Low-Key Old-School and Avant-Garde Rebellion, We Create—Xiao Qing-yang ╳ Yeh Chung-yi 060 Creators Letting Bookbinding Be a Door: Allowing the Charm of Content to Peek Out—Mao Cho-ran 066 Creators When Album Art No Longer Becomes a Limitation—Tao Wan-ling ╳ Lu Yi-hsuan 072 Creators The Heart of a Creator Wandering in the World of Bookbinding—Nieh Yung-chen 078 Creators Engraving Just the Right Print with the Romance of Unsparing Time—Hsiao Fu Print Shop ╳ PAPERWORK 084 Note The Captivating Album Designs of K-POP—Manu 086 Note The Material Imagination of Artist's Books: Between Bookbinding and Concept—Tsai Yin-chin Part 2: Sellers of Bookbinding 090 Connectors Waging Guerrilla Warfare Within the System with Books—moom bookshop 096 Connectors Music is the Art of Time, Collecting is the Stalactite of Time—Rabbit Records 102 Connectors Building Ships with Bookstores, Using Publishing as Oars, Roaming the Cosmos of Alternative Comics—Mangasick 109 Recommendation Must-Own for a Lifetime! 20 Selections of Book & Record Binding Design Part 3: Collectors of Bookbinding 118 Collectors Perceiving the Quality of Reading Amidst Calmness and Detail—Lin Wei-che 124 Collectors Collecting Makes Liking More Than Just Love at First Sight—Chang Hsuan-hao 130 Collectors Carrying Human Will, How Important and Romantic That Is—Huang Hsien-hsun 138 Selection 4 Designed Supporting Objects—Collecting for Countless Moments of Enjoyment 143 Guide SD Editor's Picks—A Map of Bookbinding Exploration Spots in the City
