摘要
書籍設計是一門藝術，結合書籍內容、目錄、風格、排版格式、裝幀設計，以及其他構成書籍的部分，將之整合在一起的整體設計。在各類實體媒介中，書籍具備相當的資訊承載性和變化多元性，更有人將書籍本身作為藝術材料進行創作，賦予書籍讓人收藏的價值。每一種裝幀的發明，都在改良上一版的裝幀形式，現代更是發展出許多能以機械快速裝訂的裝幀手法。 近年自我探索的風氣盛行，然而專門探究人類性格的性格心理學因其學習門檻高，而在台灣少有人研讀與接觸。在1921年瑞士心理學家榮格（Carl Jung）早已提出一套廣大且細膩的性格分析理論，更有其他心理學家依其理論發展出活用於各大職場、教育界的MBTI職業性格測試。許多人運用此測試來發掘自身性格潛能，並進一步理解並改善人際關係，了解自己因應各種情況所產生的優點與缺點。 本創作結合性格心理學與書籍設計，以MBTI職業性格測試所衍生的十六種人格作為創作主題，將榮格的部分性格理論融於此創作的實驗性書籍設計中，將性格心理學轉化為相對易懂的書籍創作。本創作以文獻探討來歸納出書的定義，並用案例分析來探討書籍主題與其設計的關連性。創作部分分為十六種性格的小冊，統一每本小冊的外型與規格，再運用裝幀手法和色彩計畫劃分各個性格的特質，使創作產生統一感與系列性，如同性格的多元性與統一性。 雖然書籍有固定的構成元素，卻沒有限制必須使用固定的材質，或擁有相同的樣貌。作為一位書籍設計者必須考量書籍的整體設計，再去安排選用書籍的材質、結構、頁面......等內容，這不僅只是現有觀念的延續，而是將自身化作導演去思考，挖掘媒材新的可能性，自然而然地藉由書籍這個媒材做出具備理念的傳達。

Book design is art that is composed of content, catalog, grid system, binding and other elements of the book. Among all the tangible medium, books have the ability to hold large information and variation. Some people give value to books by using books to create a work of art. Self-explorations are popular recently. Only a minority of Taiwanese study in personality psychology because personality psychology has the high threshold of learning. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a self-report questionnaire. Based on the theory that proposed by Carl Jung in 1921, MBTI helps people to find their personalities and individual possibilities. MBTI even can promote social relations. The researcher's theme combines book design and personality psychology. The researcher is based on Carl Jung's theory and MBTI's sixteen personalities. The author creates sixteen different books to represent MBTI's sixteen personalities and let people realize themselves by observing these personality books. The author marshals definitions of book design by literature review and analyzes the relation between content and design of books. Sixteen personality books have different binding to show features about sixteen personalities. Books have regular elements, but materials or appearances of books are unlimited. Book designer must consider the whole design of books and select materials, printing processes and binding of books. A good designer should think as a director to naturally communicate the design concept by books themselves. The author finds a new possibility instead of keeping the tradition.
