在以往,書籍設計主要是針對於封面的美觀與否作考量,整體上比較是侷限在表層的視覺美感,但是書籍設計是涉及到所謂作者與閱讀者訊息傳遞的過程,而設計者則是扮演兩者間溝通的橋樑,因此在設計的規劃上必須考量書籍的外部(形態)與內在(氣韻)的整體性,讓閱讀者能透過視覺、觸覺、嗅覺、聽覺、味覺去感受閱讀的愉悅。 此外,書籍的基本內容是從文字所延伸而來的,而從文學的體裁當中,可以了解到新詩文體在詞藻的運用、詩行節的排列、乃至意象的營造,在意境上都富有強烈的視覺美感。在這些特性上,進一步於研究中探討與視覺設計的關聯性。本研究創作以此概念提出從新月派詩人的新詩美學(音樂性、繪畫性、建築性)之觀點與視覺設計元素(文字、圖像、色彩、材質)作為結合,並且實踐於後續詩集創作之上,將詩人的詩作特性融入書籍的形態、色彩、紙材、文字編排等要素當中。 透過新詩的美學觀點來思考詩集設計呈現的可能性,提供設計者在進行書籍設計時有不一樣的思考途徑,期望將書籍與設計融入閱讀經驗當中,重新檢視書籍在生活中所能帶來的品味與驚豔之處。
In the past, book design was primarily concerned with whether the cover is aesthetically pleasing; on the whole, it was limited to superficial visual aesthetics. However, book design involves the process of information transmission from the author to the reader, while the designer acts as a bridge of communication between the two. Thus, the planning of design must consider the holistic character of the external (form) and internal (essence) of the book, so that readers can enjoy the pleasure of reading through sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. Additionally, the basic content of books extends from text, and from the literary form, it is possible to understand that in the new poetry literary form, the use of words, the arrangement of words in lines, and the creation of imagery are all powerful in their visual aesthetic. For these characteristics, this study will explore their connection to visual design. The creation in this study uses these as fundamental concepts to propose combining the perspective of Crescent Moon Society poets’ new poetry aesthetics (musical, painting, and architectural characters) and visual design elements (texts, images, colors, materials), and to realize them in practice in follow-up creation of poetry compilations, and to blend in the poets’ poetic works into the necessary elements of form, colors, paper materials, and text layout of the books. Using the aesthetic perspective of new poetry to consider the possibilities of the design and appearance of poetry compilations can provide designers with a different thought path when they engage in book design. It is hoped that books and design can be incorporated into the experience of reading, so there can be a re-examination of the taste and delight that can be brought by books into people’s lives.
