Intermediate Typography, Fall 2024


This book design project is a personal exploration of Mitsuo Katsui's innovative approach to graphic design. I was drawn to Katsui’s ability to create dynamic compositions that push the boundaries of color, form, and technology. Through his work, I discovered how design can transcend traditional limitations to evoke emotion and movement.

在設計這本書的過程中， 對於我來說是對勝井三雄創新設計手法的個人探索。他的作品總是充滿動感，突破色彩、形態與技術的界限，這點深深吸引了我。透過研究他的設計，我發現視覺可以超越傳統框架，並且帶來情感與動態的體驗。

In this project, I focused on understanding and reinterpreting Katsui’s artistic philosophy. I explored the relationship between structure and fluidity by developing a rigorous typographic grid while incorporating bold, experimental visuals inspired by his style. Each element of the book, from the cover to the biographical timeline, is designed to capture the energy and creativity that define his legacy.

在這個作品中，我試圖理解並重新詮釋勝井三雄的設計哲學。我透過建立嚴謹的字體網格來探索結構與流動感之間的關係，同時融入大膽且具實驗性的視覺元素，向他的風格致敬。從封面到生平年表，每個細節都希望展現他的創造力與能量，捕捉他作品中那股獨特的設計精神。
