Book of Nihilism
For this project, I chose to write a book on nihilism. My design philosophy is to use absurd forms as the overall tone, while slowly changing the core of the design according to the content of the book. I have my own experience with nihilism, so I incorporate my own ideas into the design. At first the design concept was numb, and gradually became a little confused, then very chaotic, and finally gradually turned into yearning and hope.
Learning Outcomes:
In this project, I tried to add different voices, there are bystanders and the inner cry of myself. The main text at the beginning of the book is an objective introduction to nihilism. The blue box and lines in the middle represent the inner self-awakening and the guidance of bystanders. I also tried adding articles and poems I wrote. Such representation is something I learned very important, and I also learned how to incorporate different styles in typography and find order in cluttered element
