CD Album of My Manifesto
Manifesto
設計宣言
"Be a storyteller,not just a painter"
After thinking about how to visualize my manifesto, I decided to make them into a CD album. To me,illustration is like the design to the package of the CD album, we can read the message and feeling from the outside of the album then after unfolding them we can enjoy the story inside the music. When we unfold it, it will be a poster as well.I chose one of my manifestos"Be a storyteller,not just a painter" on the cover, because to tell a story by illustration is just like give the story a suitable package.And sometimes we make too much effort on drawing skills but forget the good expression of image also plays an important role in design.
In the background,I cut down the colour blocks from the paper palettes that I used for the acrylic. I kept them every time after I painting, since I found they are all different and unique, the effect of the acrylic pigment was made randomly and it’s hard to be remade. They remind me that I should always remember to be open mind and to accept the unexpected outcome to embrace the unknown.
Besides,the way how we live our life define what kind of the illustrator you will be. So l put on some of the life attitudes in it. “To see life, to see the world” is one of the things I always remind myself for many years.
When I lack of ideas or lost the direction in design process, it’s a good time to open this album and play it again.
在這次的設計自己的設計宣言計劃裡,我們可以用任何方式來呈現,在檢視反思了自己的設計方式後,我決定將我的manifesto設計ㄧ張專輯。對我來說,專輯包裝之於專輯就像是插畫設計之於故事。我們總是先從包裝閱讀訊息,然後才是聆聽專輯的音樂,所以包裝也扮演了營造故事氛圍、傳達故事的重要角色。在封面是我寫上ㄧ句時常提醒自己的話-做一個說故事的人,而非只是畫圖者。
而插畫設計就像是給故事一個合適的包裝,會說故事的畫面是非常重要的。在設計的背景裡,有很多的不規則色塊來自之前使用過的調色盤紙上的壓克力顏料,因為發現調色後乾掉在紙上的樣子很美麗,所以留下了他們,他們獨特不可複製的樣子,能提醒我要一直記得隨時嘗試與接受不可預期的可能性。
